Hi All,  
I'm in a project, where the "Delete" phase should have one more action - reindex it to another index and delete the original.  
Is this doable somehow?  
Thanks,  
Peter

Hi Peter,

You currently cannot use reindex from ILM, however, there is an open issue for working on that: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/42784](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/42784)
