I am trying to run a reindex job in async mode using reindexRequestBuilder.execute() method.  
I have also set reindexRequestBuilder.setShouldStoreResult(true) so that I can retrieve the results later on. Also I have set the number of slices to 8.  
When I query the tasks using below command I get the lists of tasks:  
curl 'localhost:9200/\_tasks?detailed=true&actions=\*reindex&pretty'

After the reindex is complete, when I try to get the details for a particular task using the below api, I get an error :

curl 'localhost:9200/\_tasks/c9abi7KWRq-MyzWk7xpAYU:123?pretty'

"error" : {  
"root\_cause" : [  
{  
"type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "no such index",  
"index\_uuid" : "_na_",  
"resource.type" : "index\_expression",  
"[resource.id](http://resource.id)" : ".tasks",  
"index" : ".tasks"  
}  
],  
"type" : "resource\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "task [c9abi7KWRq-MyzWk7xpAYU:123] isn't running and hasn't stored its results",  
"caused\_by" : {  
"type" : "index\_not\_found\_exception",  
"reason" : "no such index",  
"index\_uuid" : "_na_",  
"resource.type" : "index\_expression",  
"[resource.id](http://resource.id)" : ".tasks",  
"index" : ".tasks"  
}  
},  
"status" : 404  
}

Am I missing something here?

@nik9000 any pointers would be very helpful.
