Compatibility
editGenerally speaking, the Curator should be able to perform a remote reindex from any version of Elasticsearch, 1.4 and newer. Strictly speaking, the Reindex API in Elasticsearch is able to reindex from older clusters, but Curator cannot be used to facilitate this due to Curator’s dependency on changes released in 1.4.
However, there is a known bug with Elasticsearch 5.3.0 not being able to reindex from remote clusters older than 2.0. The patch is available in Elasticsearch 5.3.1. Earlier versions of Elasticsearch 5.x do not suffer from this bug.
