How to skip a field/property during restore

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,
I'm using ES 2.0.1, would anyone know how to skip/exclude a field/property during the restore operation? I'm importing an index snapshot and there is a field there which has a malformed name, which I don't really need. I'd like to restore the index but skip that one property.
I'd appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks,

M

You can't.

Snapshot is made on segment level not per doc.

But if you are using a recent version of elasticsearch you can use reindex API instead.
