Hi, @deep_dba  
OpenDistro is not an Elastic product or maintained or supported by us. You can leave the question here open and maybe someone from the community has a similar issue and will be able to help, but we're sorry that we are not always able to help out with third party products. In general I would recommend you to ask that question in the OpenDistro forums or to their support.
