es-reindex.sh: line 39: /usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long

The curl arguments seem very long:

root@am-XXXX:/tmp# curl -s localhost:9200/aips | jq '.'"${index}"' | del(.settings.index.provided_name, .settings.index.creation_date, .settings.index.uuid, .settings.index.version)' |wc -l

Using a json file fixes the issue:

# Create tmp indices with old mappings
for index in $index_list; do
  echo -e "Creating ${index}_new with old mappings..."
  curl -s ${es_url}/${index} | jq '.'"${index}"' | del(.settings.index.provided_name, .settings.index.creation_date, .settings.index.uuid, .settings.index.version)' > /tmp/mapping_file.json
  curl -s -XPUT ${es_url}/${index}_new \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d @/tmp/mapping_file.json > /dev/null
done
echo -e "\n"
