Is it possible to set index settings on restore? I have a hot/warm setup and run w/ `include_global_state=false` (to avoid overriding templates). Ideally I want to have certain snapshots restore directly to 'warm' (`box_type`) nodes. Similar to question [Restore from snapshot only to warm node?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/restore-from-snapshot-only-to-warm-node/68636). ES Version 1.7.5 ---

Hi Darin, You can indeed change index settings when restoring, check out: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/modules-snapshots.html#\_changing\_index\_settings\_during\_restore](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/modules-snapshots.html#_changing_index_settings_during_restore) ---
