Currently it is possible to migrate an existing data stream to a time series data stream.
This is done by updating the index template that created the data stream. 
Then after a rollover the data stream is a time series data stream. 

Via a similar way it should be possible to change time series data stream back 
to a regular data stream. Currently when changing the `index.mode` setting
on an index template from `time_series` to `standard` (or removing the setting)
results in a validation error.
