There’s no official mechanism for renaming an index. However, if you’re
really stuck, and Aliases are not an option, you can copy the index
directory on disk. Elasticsearch will detect and import the "dangling"
index with the new name. That said, it’s up to you to coordinate any
ongoing updates between the old and new index name.
