Hi guys,

Is it possible to migrate data from AWS OpenSearch to a self hosted Elasticsearch cluster with higher version? For example, I want to migrate data from OpenSearch with 6.x to Elasticsearch 8.x

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.

Yes you can, take a look at the `_reindex` API to pull in the data to Elasticsearch.
