Dump all documents of Elasticsearch

Question

Is there any way to create a dump file that contains all the data of an index among with its settings and mappings?

A Similar way as mongoDB does with mongodump

To export all documents from ElasticSearch into JSON, you can use the esbackupexporter tool. It works with index snapshots. It takes the container with snapshots (S3, Azure blob or file directory) as the input and outputs one or several zipped JSON files per index per day. It is quite handy when exporting your historical snapshots. To export your hot index data, you may need to make the snapshot first (see the answers above).
