Hello Team,  
I have enable the snapshot using below keystore feature  
elasticsearch-keystore add-file gcs.client.default.credentials\_file ./backup.json

but when ES pod get restarted keystore config remove above config  
elasticsearch-keystore add-file gcs.client.default.credentials\_file ./backup.json

and ES snapshot is getting failed as its unable to authorize and unable to locate the bucket information ,  
How to fix this , even if es get restarted it should remain  
I have tried adding the same in yaml file but ES boot take time and its getting failed.
