Responsesedit

202: (ClusterCommandResponse) The move is in progress. To monitor progress, use the GET command on the /{cluster_id} resource.
400: (BasicFailedReply) The Elasticsearch cluster plan contains errors. (code: 'clusters.cluster_invalid_plan' and 'clusters.plan_feature_not_implemented')
403: (BasicFailedReply) The move command is prohibited for the Elasticsesarch cluster. Specify a different cluster, then try again.
404: (BasicFailedReply) One or more {instance_id} can't be found. (code: 'clusters.instances_not_found')
449: (BasicFailedReply) Elevated permissions are required. (code: '"root.needs_elevated_permissions"')

To perform this operation, you must be authenticated by means of one of the following methods: apiKey, basicAuth.
