Description
With #63513 feature states were added to elasticsearch allowing users to backup system indices and other related state of certain features. But there is a small oddity with the way the API's works now: when a policy which has featureStates: ['none'] is executed, the resulting snapshot will endup with featureStates: []. This is very confusing as the api states that if the array is empty then it includes all features.
Would it be possible that when a policy that has featureStates: ['none'] is executed, the resulting snapshot would have featureStates: ['none'] instead of features: []?
PUT _slm/policy/test-api-no-features
{
"name": "test-api-none",
"schedule": "0 30 1 * * ?",
"repository": "test",
"config": {
"include_global_state": true,
"feature_states": ["none"]
}
}
# execute newly created policy and then retrieve it
GET _snapshot/test/*
