Yes you can the full data dir from one node to another.
Note that you should stop both clusters for that.
If you want to do that live, there are other strategies.

No David , First i copied indices folder under nodes/0 (old cluster
```
data dir) and copied to new cluster and changed permission to elastic
search but when i tried to access the index it is showing index missing
exception even though index resides in data folder.
Next i deleted the indices folder and copied the data folder to
elasticsearch "/var/lib/elasticsearch" and changed permissions as
elasticsearch to that folder still getting index missing exception.
