ElasticSearch LockObtainFailedException on restoring index from s3 repository

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I keep getting the following exception in Elastic Log on trying to restore a snapshot using cloud_aws plugin from s3 repository:

[WARN ][cluster.action.shard     ] [Landslide] [index_name][0] received shard failed for target shard [[index_name][0], node[U2w_femBQYO3f5TuOI5daw], [P], v[109], restoring[elasticsearch:backup.backup_name.16-08-01-0444], s[INITIALIZING], a[id=gJBMpmcVT6G132-h1ONGgw], unassigned_info[[reason=ALLOCATION_FAILED], at[2016-09-01T13:01:53.147Z], details[failed to create shard, failure ElasticsearchException[failed to create shard]; nested: LockObtainFailedException[Can't lock shard [index_name][0], timed out after 5000ms]; ]]], indexUUID [7quZdjJqRRmhzr7WBXqlgQ], message [failed to create shard], failure [ElasticsearchException[failed to create shard]; nested: LockObtainFailedException[Can't lock shard [index_name][0], timed out after 5000ms]; ]

I am running ES version 2.4.0 on my laptop (Mac El-Capitan). There's no other operation going on on elastic server. Also note that the restore operation does complete inspite of the above exception and sometimes it doesn't. Any suggestions?
