How to re-index an index in Elasticsearch using Java ?

To re-index an index using java, build a re-index request using ReindexRequestBuilder API like:

ReindexRequestBuilder reindexRequest = 
new ReindexRequestBuilder(client,ReindexAction.INSTANCE)
    .source("source_index")
    .destination("destination_index")
    .refresh(true);

After creating a request execute the request:

reindexRequest.execute();

To validate whether the request is executed or not add a validation check:

if(copy.execute().isDone()) {
System.out.println("Request is executed");
}

Bingo! Your index is re-indexed.
