reindexing for transferring data from one index to another

[Tanyasehgal]

curl -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_reindex" -d '{"source":{"index":"sar_master","query":{"match_all":{}},"dest":{"index":"americas_master"}}}'

Error:
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No feature for name [_reindex]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No feature for name [_reindex]"},"status":400}

Do we need to pre install anything ?
