I've added multiple folks not sure who's best in reviews this small change.
I've used @dakrone advice which seems to be working on my machine (waiting for the CI).
@droberts195 can you please take a look at the fix and add the needed version - since the failure is recent, does it need backporting?

Thanks,

Thanks @jasontedor . Pushed to master and backported to 7.x

Thanks for fixing this @costin!

@przemekwitek please can you check if this also needs backporting to 7.7 since that's when we added the ILM policy. I guess it was a new test added for 7.8 that caused the problem to occur regularly, but maybe we could suffer it occasionally with other tests on 7.7 too?

I think I'll backport it just in case. It shouldn't break anything.
