Hi Elastic Community members,

I would like to know, Is there any way to speed up the elastic-dump. I need to migrate data from one elasticsearch to another elasticsearch cluster. I noticed for 1GB of data is taking around 1hour?

How to skip the replica shard while using the elasticdump?

Like that i am using command.  
`elasticdump --input=http:` `//source_server:9200/index_name --output=http://destination_server:9200/index_name --type=data --limit=10000`

Thanks  
Sonu

We are not experts in Elasticdump, but that seems awfully slow...

My suggestion Use logstash it will be much faster and we do know about that 🙂

Input elasticsearch  
Output elasticsearch

Also how much data..  
And how big are your clusters  
In other words there are many variables.

Or do a remote reindex, might be quicker still.
