Hi all.  
is it possible to replace a data node from one server to another if the configuration and versions are the same?  
or I have to reindex all the data in my node.  
please suggest me.

Thank you.

I am not sure I fully understand your question, maybe you can outline the usecase a bit further.

Have you read the documentation about rolling upgrades? See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/rolling-upgrades.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/rolling-upgrades.html) - this outlines how to stop a system, then install a new version. When you move the data and configuration to another physical node you can start the new ES process on that node as well.
