In my use case, I am using trying to use `Index recovery prioritization` settings to prioritize index recovery on failures. I create index for every hour with the time string. For example 05-05-2016-23. Is it possible to set the current hour index to prioritize on recovery.

Since it changes dynamically for every hour, How can I make this setting?

Could someone help me with this?

It seems that Curator could handle this, but it currently cannot (so I raised [this](https://github.com/elastic/curator/issues/629)).

In the meantime, you need to script something yourself.

That's sad. If we have this, this setting would be really helpful. Thanks @warkolm.
