Hey guys,

Is it possible to have a tribe node set up between and ES 1.7X Cluster and an ES 2.3X Cluster?

Since upgrading to ES2.X would break all of my current indices, I´d like to run a second up to date cluster with the "new " data incoming while haveing an "old" one for historical reasons untill, these data get aged out.

Thanks for response

No it won't work.  
You have to do this "tribe" feature by yourself on a client level IMO.
