Hello,

with the new 5.4 i wanted to try ML which led me to update some field types thus i am re indexing, while doing noticed some stuff wanted to ask if you guys had any ideas,

using the basic code at kibana dev tools:  
POST \_reindex  
{  
"source": {  
"index": "twitter"},  
"dest": {"index": "new\_twitter" }  
}

1 issue is if i use kibana over nginx, it times out

2 no errors but the number of docs is different
