Hi All,

As OD elasticsearch is open source, we thought of migrating from Elastic’s ELK Stack to Open Distro Elasticsearch.  
Please describe a way how to move from elasticsearch to opendistro for elasticsearch. Really interested in it.

Also, is there a way to do this without any downtime.

Thanks in Advance.
