Hi,

I am restoring an index `data-jun-2017` from a snapshot . Somewhere in my application they had used templates to create index based on month pattern so eventhough i am deleting it , it is not getting deleted . So, i closed that index and did restoring operation like this:

```
POST /_snapshot/elastic_backup/snapshot-2017-06-29/_restore
{
  "indices": "data-jun-2017"
}

```

And i got 50 Warnings like this in logs

```

```

What is this actually mean ? Because i lost some documents when i am doing this. Another unusual thing is when i restored to a different index name it is showing all the documents .

Thanks
