I have the index with data from filebeat. I have set up the hot phase:

- maximum index size 600mb
- maximum age 4d

Could you tell me, how to achive this behaviour:  
when the index come to 600mb OR age 4d , the index skip to warm phase read-only.  
The new index is created in a hot phase

Now what I have is that when my index come to 600mb then I cannot write new data, I can delete index but I do not see a new one, and generally all elastic stops working.
