title: Dump all documents of Elasticsearch
body: <p>Is there any way to create a dump file that contains all the data of an index among with its settings and mappings? </p>
  
  <p>A Similar way as mongoDB does with <a href="http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongodump/" rel="noreferrer">mongodump</a> <br />
  or as in Solr <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3591258/how-to-backup-a-solr-database-to-a-file">its data folder is copied</a> to a backup location.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
