@Ricky This is a [known issue](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/29488) and was [fixed](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/30244) in 6.3. You can solve this by:

- Rebuild the replica of the offending index by changing the number\_of\_replicas to 0 then restoring to 1
- Upgrade to the latest version (6.3.1) which includes the fix
