Hello!

I've made an upgrade from ES 7.0.1 to ES 7.6.1 and after that, on nodes startup, its appearing on the logs the message below:

```auto
[2020-08-14T10:54:21,893][WARN][o.e.i.s.IndexShard] [machine] [.tasks][0] failed to turn off translog retention

```

The cluster is green health, and all my indexes are green too.  
Is there any way to solve this message?

Thanks in advance!

Gabriel.
