Reindex using NEST v5.4

Hi,

I'm quite new to ElasticSearch. I'm trying to reindex a index in order to rename it. I'm using NEST API v5.4.
I saw this example:

var reindex =
	elasticClient.Reindex<Customer>(r =>
    	r.FromIndex("customers-v1")
        	.ToIndex("customers-v2")
        	.Query(q => q.MatchAll())
        	.Scroll("10s")
        	.CreateIndex(i =>
            	i.AddMapping<Customer>(m =>
                	m.Properties(p =>
                    	p.String(n => n.Name(name => name.Zipcode).Index(FieldIndexOption.not_analyzed))))));

However, I can't reproduce this using NEST 5.4. I think that is to version 2.4.
I check the breaking changes of ElasticSearch and try reindexing using this:
Source: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/net-api/current/nest-breaking-changes.html

public method Nest.ReindexDescriptor..ctor Declaration changed (Breaking)
2.x: public .ctor(IndexName from, IndexName to) 5.x: public .ctor()

var reindex = new client.Reindex(oldIndexName, newIndexName);

But this did not work to.
I also search for documentation but i didn't find any code on c#, just JSON
Source: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html)
Can someone give me a example how to reindex using NEST 5.4 on C#?

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

You can use the Reindex API within NEST to reindex data from one index to another

var reindexResponse = client.ReindexOnServer(r => r
    .Source(s => s
        .Index("old-index")
    )
    .Destination(d => d
        .Index("new-index")
    )
    .WaitForCompletion(true)
);
