I have current SQL DB currently running, I am trying move few of my tables to Elastic indexes. which is the easiest way. i have gone through few link, nothing is pointing to what i am looking for.

Using Logstash for this is one option, [with the jdbc plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html). Another option would be to use one of the clients (such as NEST) in an application to read from the SQL database (maybe [using something like Dapper](https://github.com/StackExchange/dapper-dot-net) to hydrate records into POCOs), and then use NEST to send bulk requests of batches of documents to Elasticsearch. ---
