While it is recommended to use {ilm-init} to manage the index lifecycle from

start to finish, it may be useful to use {ilm-init} with existing indices,

-particularly when transitioning from an alternative method of managing the index

indices when migrating to fully {ilm-init}-manged indices, which can be done in
