ILM rollover stopped working from 12/27/2020, because of wrong index creation time.

we verified system date, system date was correct during index creation.

we could confirm by seeing the elasticsearch log that system date is **2020-12-27** when index is created but index name created with future date prod-usw-es2-1-kpr2] [apache-prod-usw-es2-1- **2021.12.27** -000005

we use [**parse\_origination\_date**](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/ilm-settings.html) index settings

rollover didn't happened based on index size

Thanks for reporting this Kannan (Raj?),

I think this might be a bug, would you mind opening an issue at [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues) and attaching as much info as you can share? (logs, ILM explain, the index settings you posted above)
