Hello Team

I am using Elasticsearch version 7.8.0 and Logstash 7.8.0.

I am trying to extract data from Elasticsearch index to csv file.

I am using a script to perform the activity for various different indexes created based on date format.

Whenever my script hits an Index name : `myindex-2021-06-15` , and suppose this index does not exist in my elasticsearch cluster, logstash hangs on

```auto
  Error: [404] {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index [jcappdetails-2020-10-17]","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"myindex-2021-06-15","index_uuid":"_na_","index":"myindex-2021-06-15"}],"type":"index_not_found_exception","reason":"no such index [myindex-2021-06-15]","resource.type":"index_or_alias","resource.id":"myindex-2021-06-15","index_uuid":"_na_","index":"myindex-2021-06-15"},"status":404}
  Exception: Elasticsearch::Transport::Transport::Errors::NotFound

/mnt/logstash-7.8.0/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:336:in `block in start_input'

```

I expect logstash to move on after getting above error and not wait for my input of "CONTROL+C" to break it and perform below itself.

```auto
^C[2021-06-28T06:36:04,305][WARN][logstash.runner] SIGINT received. Shutting down.
[2021-06-28T06:36:05,158][INFO][logstash.javapipeline] Pipeline terminated {"pipeline.id"=>"main"}
[2021-06-28T06:36:05,206][INFO][logstash.runner] Logstash shut down.

```

Could you please help me to achieve logstash movement ahead after getting index is not available and not stuck and wait in there ...
