We collect Twitter data every hour in separate indices.  During testing of 
the snapshot facility in Elasticsearch 1.3.2, I created a repo (called 
backup0) and a snapshot (called 2014-07-23) of a single index (called 
tweets-2014-07-23:16).   Then I added a second index (called 
tweets-2014-07-23:17) to the snapshot.  I verified that the snapshots were 
created in Elasticsearch and the snapshot files were created on the shared 
storage drive.

Then I deleted the snapshot, repo and the snapshot files.  I repeated the 
same procedure to see if the repo, snapshot and snapshot files could be 
recreated.  Elasticsearch created the repo and snapshot, but failed to add 
the files to the snapshot for indices tweets-2014-07-23:16 and 
tweets-2014-07-23:17. 
 Checking the status in Elasticsearch verified this finding as the status 
message indicated that the request was a success but 0 shards were added to 
the snapshot and the "indices" directory was not created in the the shared 
storage drive.

Somehow Elasticsearch maintained the state of the repo and snapshot after 
it was deleted because it refused to add the two indices to the recreated 
snapshot.  This seems to be a bug to me.  Has anyone else encountered this 
problem?
