I'm using Elasticsearch 1.3.1. I had a snapshot finish with state: partial
(probably due to this bug
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/pull/7376](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/pull/7376)) but later
snapshots have succeeded. I know snapshots are incremental, but I'd like
to be sure that the missing data from the partial snapshot is included in
the later snapshots. Is there a way to have Elasticsearch check that
nothing is missing?
