Hi,
I'm reindexing from a remote 1.7.3 cluster to a 5.2.0 one.
I'd like to reindex all time based indices, without having to do it one at a time.
I tried the example from the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#_reindex_daily_indices) and it works perfectly. However, I'd like to keep the same index name, so I simply tried removing the `+ '-1'` from the script. Doing so does not work, and the new index name is `metricbeat` instead of `metricbeat-2016.05.02`. I also tried to simply use this script: `"inline": "ctx._index = ctx._index"` which has the same effect.
Any idea on how I could solve this?

Is the problem maybe that there is a sanity check that detects index\_name is the same in source and destination?

I'm planning on adding this functionality into Curator 5.1.
