Kibana version: 7.4.0

Elasticsearch version: 7.4.0

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:

When creating an index pattern, Kibana doesn't show empty indices.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create an empty index
  2. Try to create an index pattern matching that index

Describe the feature:

Based on slack discussion, Kibana's create-index-pattern UI only considers indexes that have mappings. An empty index with no mappings is not considered. This is confusing because it hides information or redefines what an "index" is.

The response by Kibana is: "The index pattern you've entered doesn't match any indices"

The way I read this, this is a false statement because "zube-dev" is an index pattern that should match an index named "zube-dev" but in this case is not doing so. A more true statement might be "The index pattern you've entered matches only indices with no mappings" or something like that? I'm open to other ways to present this.
