Index alias update API documentation describes index removal action as atomic. It is atomic in the sense of cluster state change but doesn't guarantee in-flight or queued tasks won't attempt to access removed index resulting in a failure (reject). This small edit clarifies that.

Small edit highlighting the fact that atomic cluster state change does not guarantee lack of errors for in-flight requests.
