Hello, I am using elasticsearch 1.7 and have a 3 node cluster. All three nodes are data nodes and master eligible nodes. With minimum master nodes set to 2. I have an index\_v1 which holds around 500k records. I want to reindex around 200k of those records to new index\_v2. For that I am using the following plugin [https://github.com/codelibs/elasticsearch-reindexing](https://github.com/codelibs/elasticsearch-reindexing) .  
However whenever we I try to use the plugin it fails and I get the following errors in the logs

[2016-08-02 05:25:13,931][WARN][action.bulk] [NodeName-Node1] unexpected error during the primary phase for action [indices:data/write/bulk[s]]

I kept monitoring using the head plugin and the Cluster health was in green the entire process.  
Any ideas?
