Hi,

we're preparing to upgrade from v.7.10.0, the elk stack is running on an Ubuntu cluster with 3 nodes, although we have an index which we have to prepare for the upgrade, it keeps on looping:

> Details  
> [some]-alias
> 
> This index was created prior to 7.0 -  
> index requires conversion to 7.x format
> 
> * * *
> 
> Reindex [some]-alias  
> Index is unable to ingest, update, or delete documents while reindexing
> 
> If you can’t stop document updates or need to reindex into a new cluster, consider using a different upgrade strategy.

How can we fix this?

Thanks.
