Upgrade elasticsearch from 1.x to 2.x

[Phani_Nadiminti]

Hi All,

I am facing some kibana index issue while restarting elasticsearch up on upgrade.the following is the issue.

[2016-10-04 20:54:25,930][ERROR][bootstrap ] Guice Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: unable to upgrade the mappings for the index [.kibana], reason: [mapper [version] cannot be changed from type [long] to [int]]
Likely root cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: mapper [version] cannot be changed from type [long] to [int]

I read mapping conflicts not accepting by es 2.x version so i got this point and if i removed .kibana index and recreated at ES side with correct mapping it should work am I correct?

I have lot's of visulaizations in production to export and import is there any easiest way to import these or upgrade fix at es side please suggest me.

Thanks
phani

Yes.

@Phani_Nadiminti

Nope, due to the conflicts. You could try getting the documents in the .kibana index as json and then post them into a new index. Or just use the export/import functionality.
