I'm using the snapshot/restore feature of Elasticsearch, together with the 
Azure plugin to backup snapshots to Azure blob storage. Everything works 
when doing snapshots from a cluster and restoring to the same cluster. Now 
I'm in a situation where I want to restore an entirely new cluster (let's 
call that cluster b) from a snapshot generated from cluster a. When I run a 
restore request on cluster b, I get a 404. Doing a _status call on the 
snapshot, I get the same error:

{"error":"RepositoryMissingException[[elasticsearch_logs] 
missing]","status":404}


The new cluster is configured with the Azure plugin and the same settings for 
Azure. I guess the error is caused by the fact, that Elasticsearch generates 
some metadata about the snapshots and store them locally in a the _snapshot 
index and this index is not on the new cluster. The same error is happening if 
I delete the data dir on cluster a and try to restore cluster a from a snapshot.


How would I deal with a situation like this?
