step1: i snapshot a indice use url "?wait\_for\_completion=true" and it sure it hava done .

step2: i delete the indice in Elasticsearch cluster, and done.

step3: use \_restore to restore the indice. and occurs error "concurrent\_snapshot\_execution\_exception". and i try to delete the restored indice , but {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"concurrent\_snapshot\_execution\_exception","reason":"[myrepo:os\_t\_2018.04.17/IjvpPeCRSZ6KyTwB6cQiNA] cannot delete snapshot during a restore"}],"type":"concurrent\_snapshot\_execution\_exception","reason":"[myrepo:os\_t\_2018.04.17/IjvpPeCRSZ6KyTwB6cQiNA] cannot delete snapshot during a restore"},"status":503}

and i am confused and the cluster is red always.

thanks !
