We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

                        @Override
                        public void onFailure(Exception e) {
                            // we're already failing exceptionally; and prefer to propagate the original exception instead of this one
                            logger.warn(Strings.format("exception closing commit for [%s] in [%s]"; indexShard.shardId(); snapshot); e);
                        }
                    }).onResponse(null);
                }
