Hi,
I am using migration plugin to reindex 1.7.1 indices to 2.4.4, so we can migrate to 5.x.
I managed to reindex some indices but most of them are failing. New index gets created but reindex fails. I tried to do it manually, copy\>pasting the reindex command from the migration tool (and changing wait\_for\_completion to true).
Here is an example of one command and the output I get:
> curl -XPOST '[http://elasearch03001.pod01:9201/\_reindex?wait\_for\_completion=true](http://elasearch03001.pod01:9201/_reindex?wait_for_completion=true)' -d '
> {
> "source": {
> "index": "sessions\_org4\_2017\_07\_17",
> "sort": "\_doc",
> "size": 1000
> },
> "dest": {
> "index": "sessions\_org4\_2017\_07\_17-2.4.4",
> "version\_type": "external"
> }
> }
> '
What does this output mean "source is missing"? Both indices are present. One 2.4.4 has 0 docs, while the original has 57794 docs.
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"action\_request\_validation\_exception","reason":"Validation Failed: 1: source is missing;2: source is missing;3: source is missing;4: source is missing;5: source is missing;6: source is missing;7: source is missing;8: source is missing;9: source is missing;10: source is missing;11: source is missing;12: source is missing;13: source is missing;14:.....source is missing;724: source is missing;725: source is missing;726: source is missing;727: source is missing;"},"status":400}
Thanks

What does the mapping for the source index look like?

It is still hard to read, but there seems to be something in your index that has `_source` disabled, which will prevent it from being reindexed.
