Hi Experts ,

I am using logstash1.5.4 with ES1.7.1 to reindex old data to a new index . My LS conf file is like

```
input {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "localhost"
    index => "based1"
    query => "*"
    size => 500
    scroll => "5m"
    docinfo => true
  }
}
output {
  elasticsearch {
    action => "index" 
    index => "copy-of-production.%{[@metadata][_index]}"
    document_type => "%{[@metadata][_type]}"
    document_id => "%{[@metadata][_id]}"
  }
}

```

Now after running above conf i am getting below error

```
←[31mA plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin.

```

Any idea what is it ?

Thanks

I could solve this by removing `query => "*"` . By default elasticsearch input takes `match_all`

Thanks Krishna,

Actually I re index the data since I was not able to resolve this . Will try with this new approach

Thanks
