Hi ,

Not able to understand the what exactly is happening in these 2 stages in snapshot creation process -

`[2018-07-03T11:34:10,529][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [create_snapshot` `[snapshot_1_filebeat]]: took [2ms] done applying updated cluster_state (version: 16, uuid: C6hjwYmGQX-bIpm5iDbf7Q)`

and

`[2018-07-03T11:34:10,642][DEBUG][o.e.c.s.ClusterService] [node1] processing [update_snapshot [my_fs_backup:snapshot_1_filebeat/QjkmZNvxR1OkDwwnU3UjTQ]]: took [1ms] done applying updated cluster_state (version: 17, uuid: c7TVL-H1TF6m1vmThJr3Bg)`

Thanks,  
Roshni

The first line indicates that the snapshot was created (`create_snapshot`) which is what makes the cluster start to perform the snapshot. The second indicates that some kind of change in the snapshot's state was recorded (`update_snapshot` - probably that a single file was successfully snapshotted).
