I want to migrate elasticsearch from 1.3.9 to 5.5 . So i decided to use the second option from the doc.

Install a 5.5 , create index( with settings and mapping) and do a remote reindex.

Actually i don't have any error but i still have in my new server o created index after doing the reindex.

Here the result : "took": 30, "timed\_out": false, "total": 0, "updated": 0, "created": 0, "deleted": 0, "batches": 0, "version\_conflicts": 0, "noops": 0, "retries": { "bulk": 0, "search": 0 }, "throttled\_millis": 0, "requests\_per\_second": -1, "throttled\_until\_millis": 0, "failures": [] }

Do you have any idea to resolve or which log to look at ?

The command

{  
"source": {  
"remote": {  
"host": "[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)",  
"username": "elastic",  
"password": "changeme"  
},  
"index": "myindex"  
},  
"dest": {  
"index": "mynewindex"  
}  
}

It's not going to be simple either way unfortunately. ☹ I tried to upgrade from "2.4.2" to 5.0 when it first came out using the above mentioned steps, but it would always fail on geo\_point fields. ☹

ok for me I believe I am much closer to a solution than where I started. When doing the upgrade using this doc

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/rolling-upgrades.html#upgrade-node](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.4/rolling-upgrades.html#upgrade-node)

It will tell you in detail the error you are encountering in the log directory. using that I am now closer to resolving my upgrade.

In case it helps anyone
