Elasticsearch 5.4.1  
Rollover API problem

We are using Rollover to create new index upon a document count condition is reached.

But while ingestion is happening, if we run the rollover API, getting below error:  
"Alias [test-schema-active-logs] has more than one indices associated with it [[test-schema-000004, test-schema-000005]], can't execute a single index op"

From Rollover API understanding write alias should automatically switch to new index (test-schema-000005) created and move the alias from the old index (test-schema-000004). How can this error be handled?
