Indices cat API doesn't list closed indices when filtered

[jlecour]

Hi,

With the indices cat API, I can list my indices, either open or close.

→ curl http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cat/indices
       close partner_results-20150930
yellow open  partner_requests-20150929     1 1     17     0 230.3kb 230.3kb
yellow open  partner_results-20151102      5 1   4311     0   1.5mb   1.5mb
yellow open  search_requests-20150902      5 1     10     0  51.3kb  51.3kb

If I filter my results, I no longer see close indices :

→ curl http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cat/indices/\*_results-\*
yellow open  partner_results-20151102      5 1   4311     0   1.5mb   1.5mb

I didn't find the documentation about that so I don't know if it a bug or an undocumented behavior.

I thought there might be an argument for /_cat/indices to show all/open/close indices, but I haven't found anything.

I would like to start contributing by fixing this one, if this can be assigned to me!

Grumble grumble it looks like you can't assign non-"elastic members" to issues. I was wrong! Anyway, consider it claimed.

@nik9000 In such a case, I think we can remove the adoptme label. I just updated the issue.
