from the docs: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#\_repository\_verification](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_repository_verification) This kills one of our super cool use cases which is restoring production indices from S3 to development clusters. I don't want to give s3 write access to the dev clusters but repo verificaiton fails without it. How can I disable repository verification in 1.4?
