I've just updated my dev machine from 1.4.x to 1.5.2 and can no longer do this:  
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/someindex\*/\_open'  
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_all/\_open'

It always returns IndexMissingException, I've tried setting action.destructive\_requires\_name to false, but the issue persists. I have many indexes that should match, so has anyone else seen this?

I just tested this using \* and \_all on 1.5.2 and it worked.

Can you paste something showing a curl call and the output you are seeing?

I'm wondering if I've caused an issue doing a restore off s3 snapshot repo which was half created by 1.4.4 for the first half of the month and continued using 1.5.2 for the second half of the month.

Sorry, I've just worked it out... If there are no closed indexes to open this error is returned.
