openserach version 2.7.0  
elasticsearch version 8.2.0

* * *

I want to migate from elasticsearch 8.2.0 to opensearch 2.7.0.  
Making snapshot on Minio in elasticsearch.  
But I read some article, " snapshots taken with Elasticsearch 7.12.0 and above are not compatible with OpenSearch. If you use a version above 7.12.0. "  
and I just do that, of cause Failed.

```auto
{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "repository_missing_exception",
        "reason": "[minio-backup] missing"
      }
    ],
    "type": "repository_missing_exception",
    "reason": "[minio-backup] missing"
  },
  "status": 404
}

```

So what is the best way to migrate from elasticsearch 8.2.0 to opensearch 2.7.0 ??

Hey @cucukaka

Im not sure, what I have done before is create a new instance “Opensearch-2.7.0” route all node/s to opensearch-2.7.0/ Keeep Elasticsearch-8.x.x on till the Index retenction period is completed. then you can remove/Delete Elasticsearch. No down time, and you have all you logs/message/doc’. Just an idea
