-##################### Elasticsearch Configuration Example #####################
-
-# This file contains an overview of various configuration settings,
-# targeted at operations staff. Application developers should
-# consult the guide at <http://elasticsearch.org/guide>.
-#
-# The installation procedure is covered at
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html>.
-#
-# Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings,
-# so you can try it out without bothering with configuration.
-#
-# Most of the time, these defaults are just fine for running a production
-# cluster. If you're fine-tuning your cluster, or wondering about the
-# effect of certain configuration option, please _do ask_ on the
-# mailing list or IRC channel [http://elasticsearch.org/community].
-
-# Any element in the configuration can be replaced with environment variables
-# by placing them in ${...} notation. For example:
-#
-# node.rack: ${RACK_ENV_VAR}
-
-# For information on supported formats and syntax for the config file, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html>
-
-
-################################### Cluster ###################################
-
-# Cluster name identifies your cluster for auto-discovery. If you're running
-# multiple clusters on the same network, make sure you're using unique names.
-#
-# cluster.name: elasticsearch
-
-
-#################################### Node #####################################
-
-# Node names are generated dynamically on startup, so you're relieved
-# from configuring them manually. You can tie this node to a specific name:
-#
-# node.name: "Franz Kafka"
-
-# Every node can be configured to allow or deny being eligible as the master,
-# and to allow or deny to store the data.
-#
-# Allow this node to be eligible as a master node (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.master: true
-#
-# Allow this node to store data (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.data: true
-
-# You can exploit these settings to design advanced cluster topologies.
-#
-# 1. You want this node to never become a master node, only to hold data.
-#    This will be the "workhorse" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: true
-#
-# 2. You want this node to only serve as a master: to not store any data and
-#    to have free resources. This will be the "coordinator" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: true
-# node.data: false
-#
-# 3. You want this node to be neither master nor data node, but
-#    to act as a "search load balancer" (fetching data from nodes,
-#    aggregating results, etc.)
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: false
-
-# Use the Cluster Health API [http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health], the
-# Node Info API [http://localhost:9200/_nodes] or GUI tools
-# such as <http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/marvel/>,
-# <http://github.com/karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic>,
-# <http://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk> and
-# <http://mobz.github.com/elasticsearch-head> to inspect the cluster state.
-
-# A node can have generic attributes associated with it, which can later be used
-# for customized shard allocation filtering, or allocation awareness. An attribute
-# is a simple key value pair, similar to node.key: value, here is an example:
-#
-# node.rack: rack314
-
-# By default, multiple nodes are allowed to start from the same installation location
-# to disable it, set the following:
-# node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
-
-
-#################################### Index ####################################
-
-# You can set a number of options (such as shard/replica options, mapping
-# or analyzer definitions, translog settings, ...) for indices globally,
-# in this file.
-#
-# Note, that it makes more sense to configure index settings specifically for
-# a certain index, either when creating it or by using the index templates API.
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules.html> and
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html>
-# for more information.
-
-# Set the number of shards (splits) of an index (5 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_shards: 5
-
-# Set the number of replicas (additional copies) of an index (1 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_replicas: 1
-
-# Note, that for development on a local machine, with small indices, it usually
-# makes sense to "disable" the distributed features:
-#
-index.number_of_shards: 1
-index.number_of_replicas: 0
-
-# These settings directly affect the performance of index and search operations
-# in your cluster. Assuming you have enough machines to hold shards and
-# replicas, the rule of thumb is:
-#
-# 1. Having more *shards* enhances the _indexing_ performance and allows to
-#    _distribute_ a big index across machines.
-# 2. Having more *replicas* enhances the _search_ performance and improves the
-#    cluster _availability_.
-#
-# The "number_of_shards" is a one-time setting for an index.
-#
-# The "number_of_replicas" can be increased or decreased anytime,
-# by using the Index Update Settings API.
-#
-# Elasticsearch takes care about load balancing, relocating, gathering the
-# results from nodes, etc. Experiment with different settings to fine-tune
-# your setup.
-
-# Use the Index Status API (<http://localhost:9200/A/_status>) to inspect
-# the index status.
-
-
-#################################### Paths ####################################
-
-# Path to directory containing configuration (this file and logging.yml):
-#
-path.conf: /src/test/resources
-
-# Path to directory where to store index data allocated for this node.
-#
-path.data: target/esdata
-#
-# Can optionally include more than one location, causing data to be striped across
-# the locations (a la RAID 0) on a file level, favouring locations with most free
-# space on creation. For example:
-#
-# path.data: /path/to/data1,/path/to/data2
-
-# Path to temporary files:
-#
-path.work: /target/eswork
-
-# Path to log files:
-#
-path.logs: /target/eslogs
-
-# Path to where plugins are installed:
-#
-# path.plugins: /path/to/plugins
-
-
-#################################### Plugin ###################################
-
-# If a plugin listed here is not installed for current node, the node will not start.
-#
-# plugin.mandatory: mapper-attachments,lang-groovy
-
-
-################################### Memory ####################################
-
-# Elasticsearch performs poorly when JVM starts swapping: you should ensure that
-# it _never_ swaps.
-#
-# Set this property to true to lock the memory:
-#
-# bootstrap.mlockall: true
-
-# Make sure that the ES_MIN_MEM and ES_MAX_MEM environment variables are set
-# to the same value, and that the machine has enough memory to allocate
-# for Elasticsearch, leaving enough memory for the operating system itself.
-#
-# You should also make sure that the Elasticsearch process is allowed to lock
-# the memory, eg. by using `ulimit -l unlimited`.
-
-
-############################## Network And HTTP ###############################
-
-# Elasticsearch, by default, binds itself to the 0.0.0.0 address, and listens
-# on port [9200-9300] for HTTP traffic and on port [9300-9400] for node-to-node
-# communication. (the range means that if the port is busy, it will automatically
-# try the next port).
-
-# Set the bind address specifically (IPv4 or IPv6):
-#
-# network.bind_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set the address other nodes will use to communicate with this node. If not
-# set, it is automatically derived. It must point to an actual IP address.
-#
-# network.publish_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set both 'bind_host' and 'publish_host':
-#
-# network.host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set a custom port for the node to node communication (9300 by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.port: 9300
-
-# Enable compression for all communication between nodes (disabled by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.compress: true
-
-# Set a custom port to listen for HTTP traffic:
-#
-# http.port: 9200
-
-# Set a custom allowed content length:
-#
-# http.max_content_length: 100mb
-
-# Disable HTTP completely:
-#
-# http.enabled: false
-
-
-################################### Gateway ###################################
-
-# The gateway allows for persisting the cluster state between full cluster
-# restarts. Every change to the state (such as adding an index) will be stored
-# in the gateway, and when the cluster starts up for the first time,
-# it will read its state from the gateway.
-
-# There are several types of gateway implementations. For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html>.
-
-# The default gateway type is the "local" gateway (recommended):
-#
-# gateway.type: local
-
-# Settings below control how and when to start the initial recovery process on
-# a full cluster restart (to reuse as much local data as possible when using shared
-# gateway).
-
-# Allow recovery process after N nodes in a cluster are up:
-#
-gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the timeout to initiate the recovery process, once the N nodes
-# from previous setting are up (accepts time value):
-#
-# gateway.recover_after_time: 5m
-
-# Set how many nodes are expected in this cluster. Once these N nodes
-# are up (and recover_after_nodes is met), begin recovery process immediately
-# (without waiting for recover_after_time to expire):
-#
-gateway.expected_nodes: 1
-
-
-############################# Recovery Throttling #############################
-
-# These settings allow to control the process of shards allocation between
-# nodes during initial recovery, replica allocation, rebalancing,
-# or when adding and removing nodes.
-
-# Set the number of concurrent recoveries happening on a node:
-#
-# 1. During the initial recovery
-#
-# cluster.routing.allocation.node_initial_primaries_recoveries: 4
-#
-# 2. During adding/removing nodes, rebalancing, etc
-#
-# cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries: 2
-
-# Set to throttle throughput when recovering (eg. 100mb, by default 20mb):
-#
-# indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec: 20mb
-
-# Set to limit the number of open concurrent streams when
-# recovering a shard from a peer:
-#
-# indices.recovery.concurrent_streams: 5
-
-
-################################## Discovery ##################################
-
-# Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster
-# and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.
-
-# Set to ensure a node sees N other master eligible nodes to be considered
-# operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher value
-# than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.
-#
-# discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.
-# Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network
-# to minimize discovery failures:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
-
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html>
-
-# Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used
-# to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,
-# or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.
-#
-# 1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
-#
-# 2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster
-#    to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2:port"]
-
-# EC2 discovery allows to use AWS EC2 API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-aws plugin for enabling the EC2 discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-ec2.html>
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/>
-# for a step-by-step tutorial.
-
-# GCE discovery allows to use Google Compute Engine API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-gce plugin for enabling the GCE discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-gce>.
-
-# Azure discovery allows to use Azure API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-azure plugin for enabling the Azure discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-azure>.

-##################### Elasticsearch Configuration Example #####################
-
-# This file contains an overview of various configuration settings,
-# targeted at operations staff. Application developers should
-# consult the guide at <http://elasticsearch.org/guide>.
-#
-# The installation procedure is covered at
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html>.
-#
-# Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings,
-# so you can try it out without bothering with configuration.
-#
-# Most of the time, these defaults are just fine for running a production
-# cluster. If you're fine-tuning your cluster, or wondering about the
-# effect of certain configuration option, please _do ask_ on the
-# mailing list or IRC channel [http://elasticsearch.org/community].
-
-# Any element in the configuration can be replaced with environment variables
-# by placing them in ${...} notation. For example:
-#
-# node.rack: ${RACK_ENV_VAR}
-
-# For information on supported formats and syntax for the config file, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html>
-
-
-################################### Cluster ###################################
-
-# Cluster name identifies your cluster for auto-discovery. If you're running
-# multiple clusters on the same network, make sure you're using unique names.
-#
-# cluster.name: elasticsearch
-
-
-#################################### Node #####################################
-
-# Node names are generated dynamically on startup, so you're relieved
-# from configuring them manually. You can tie this node to a specific name:
-#
-# node.name: "Franz Kafka"
-
-# Every node can be configured to allow or deny being eligible as the master,
-# and to allow or deny to store the data.
-#
-# Allow this node to be eligible as a master node (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.master: true
-#
-# Allow this node to store data (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.data: true
-
-# You can exploit these settings to design advanced cluster topologies.
-#
-# 1. You want this node to never become a master node, only to hold data.
-#    This will be the "workhorse" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: true
-#
-# 2. You want this node to only serve as a master: to not store any data and
-#    to have free resources. This will be the "coordinator" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: true
-# node.data: false
-#
-# 3. You want this node to be neither master nor data node, but
-#    to act as a "search load balancer" (fetching data from nodes,
-#    aggregating results, etc.)
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: false
-
-# Use the Cluster Health API [http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health], the
-# Node Info API [http://localhost:9200/_nodes] or GUI tools
-# such as <http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/marvel/>,
-# <http://github.com/karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic>,
-# <http://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk> and
-# <http://mobz.github.com/elasticsearch-head> to inspect the cluster state.
-
-# A node can have generic attributes associated with it, which can later be used
-# for customized shard allocation filtering, or allocation awareness. An attribute
-# is a simple key value pair, similar to node.key: value, here is an example:
-#
-# node.rack: rack314
-
-# By default, multiple nodes are allowed to start from the same installation location
-# to disable it, set the following:
-# node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
-
-
-#################################### Index ####################################
-
-# You can set a number of options (such as shard/replica options, mapping
-# or analyzer definitions, translog settings, ...) for indices globally,
-# in this file.
-#
-# Note, that it makes more sense to configure index settings specifically for
-# a certain index, either when creating it or by using the index templates API.
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules.html> and
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html>
-# for more information.
-
-# Set the number of shards (splits) of an index (5 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_shards: 5
-
-# Set the number of replicas (additional copies) of an index (1 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_replicas: 1
-
-# Note, that for development on a local machine, with small indices, it usually
-# makes sense to "disable" the distributed features:
-#
-index.number_of_shards: 1
-index.number_of_replicas: 0
-
-# These settings directly affect the performance of index and search operations
-# in your cluster. Assuming you have enough machines to hold shards and
-# replicas, the rule of thumb is:
-#
-# 1. Having more *shards* enhances the _indexing_ performance and allows to
-#    _distribute_ a big index across machines.
-# 2. Having more *replicas* enhances the _search_ performance and improves the
-#    cluster _availability_.
-#
-# The "number_of_shards" is a one-time setting for an index.
-#
-# The "number_of_replicas" can be increased or decreased anytime,
-# by using the Index Update Settings API.
-#
-# Elasticsearch takes care about load balancing, relocating, gathering the
-# results from nodes, etc. Experiment with different settings to fine-tune
-# your setup.
-
-# Use the Index Status API (<http://localhost:9200/A/_status>) to inspect
-# the index status.
-
-
-#################################### Paths ####################################
-
-# Path to directory containing configuration (this file and logging.yml):
-#
-path.conf: /src/test/resources
-
-# Path to directory where to store index data allocated for this node.
-#
-path.data: target/esdata
-#
-# Can optionally include more than one location, causing data to be striped across
-# the locations (a la RAID 0) on a file level, favouring locations with most free
-# space on creation. For example:
-#
-# path.data: /path/to/data1,/path/to/data2
-
-# Path to temporary files:
-#
-path.work: /target/eswork
-
-# Path to log files:
-#
-path.logs: /target/eslogs
-
-# Path to where plugins are installed:
-#
-# path.plugins: /path/to/plugins
-
-
-#################################### Plugin ###################################
-
-# If a plugin listed here is not installed for current node, the node will not start.
-#
-# plugin.mandatory: mapper-attachments,lang-groovy
-
-
-################################### Memory ####################################
-
-# Elasticsearch performs poorly when JVM starts swapping: you should ensure that
-# it _never_ swaps.
-#
-# Set this property to true to lock the memory:
-#
-# bootstrap.mlockall: true
-
-# Make sure that the ES_MIN_MEM and ES_MAX_MEM environment variables are set
-# to the same value, and that the machine has enough memory to allocate
-# for Elasticsearch, leaving enough memory for the operating system itself.
-#
-# You should also make sure that the Elasticsearch process is allowed to lock
-# the memory, eg. by using `ulimit -l unlimited`.
-
-
-############################## Network And HTTP ###############################
-
-# Elasticsearch, by default, binds itself to the 0.0.0.0 address, and listens
-# on port [9200-9300] for HTTP traffic and on port [9300-9400] for node-to-node
-# communication. (the range means that if the port is busy, it will automatically
-# try the next port).
-
-# Set the bind address specifically (IPv4 or IPv6):
-#
-# network.bind_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set the address other nodes will use to communicate with this node. If not
-# set, it is automatically derived. It must point to an actual IP address.
-#
-# network.publish_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set both 'bind_host' and 'publish_host':
-#
-# network.host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set a custom port for the node to node communication (9300 by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.port: 9300
-
-# Enable compression for all communication between nodes (disabled by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.compress: true
-
-# Set a custom port to listen for HTTP traffic:
-#
-# http.port: 9200
-
-# Set a custom allowed content length:
-#
-# http.max_content_length: 100mb
-
-# Disable HTTP completely:
-#
-# http.enabled: false
-
-
-################################### Gateway ###################################
-
-# The gateway allows for persisting the cluster state between full cluster
-# restarts. Every change to the state (such as adding an index) will be stored
-# in the gateway, and when the cluster starts up for the first time,
-# it will read its state from the gateway.
-
-# There are several types of gateway implementations. For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html>.
-
-# The default gateway type is the "local" gateway (recommended):
-#
-# gateway.type: local
-
-# Settings below control how and when to start the initial recovery process on
-# a full cluster restart (to reuse as much local data as possible when using shared
-# gateway).
-
-# Allow recovery process after N nodes in a cluster are up:
-#
-gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the timeout to initiate the recovery process, once the N nodes
-# from previous setting are up (accepts time value):
-#
-# gateway.recover_after_time: 5m
-
-# Set how many nodes are expected in this cluster. Once these N nodes
-# are up (and recover_after_nodes is met), begin recovery process immediately
-# (without waiting for recover_after_time to expire):
-#
-gateway.expected_nodes: 1
-
-
-############################# Recovery Throttling #############################
-
-# These settings allow to control the process of shards allocation between
-# nodes during initial recovery, replica allocation, rebalancing,
-# or when adding and removing nodes.
-
-# Set the number of concurrent recoveries happening on a node:
-#
-# 1. During the initial recovery
-#
-# cluster.routing.allocation.node_initial_primaries_recoveries: 4
-#
-# 2. During adding/removing nodes, rebalancing, etc
-#
-# cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries: 2
-
-# Set to throttle throughput when recovering (eg. 100mb, by default 20mb):
-#
-# indices.recovery.max_bytes_per_sec: 20mb
-
-# Set to limit the number of open concurrent streams when
-# recovering a shard from a peer:
-#
-# indices.recovery.concurrent_streams: 5
-
-
-################################## Discovery ##################################
-
-# Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster
-# and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.
-
-# Set to ensure a node sees N other master eligible nodes to be considered
-# operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher value
-# than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.
-#
-# discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.
-# Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network
-# to minimize discovery failures:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
-
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html>
-
-# Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used
-# to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,
-# or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.
-#
-# 1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
-#
-# 2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster
-#    to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2:port"]
-
-# EC2 discovery allows to use AWS EC2 API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-aws plugin for enabling the EC2 discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-ec2.html>
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/>
-# for a step-by-step tutorial.
-
-# GCE discovery allows to use Google Compute Engine API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-gce plugin for enabling the GCE discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-gce>.
-
-# Azure discovery allows to use Azure API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-azure plugin for enabling the Azure discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-azure>.

-############################## Network And HTTP ###############################
-
-# Elasticsearch, by default, binds itself to the 0.0.0.0 address, and listens

-# try the next port).
-
-# Set the bind address specifically (IPv4 or IPv6):

-# network.bind_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set the address other nodes will use to communicate with this node. If not
-# set, it is automatically derived. It must point to an actual IP address.
-#
-# network.publish_host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set both 'bind_host' and 'publish_host':
-#
-# network.host: 192.168.0.1
-
-# Set a custom port for the node to node communication (9300 by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.port: 9300
-
-# Enable compression for all communication between nodes (disabled by default):
-#
-# transport.tcp.compress: true
-
-# Set a custom port to listen for HTTP traffic:
-#
-# http.port: 9200
-
-# Set a custom allowed content length:
-#
-# http.max_content_length: 100mb
-
-# Disable HTTP completely:

-################################### Gateway ###################################
-
-# The gateway allows for persisting the cluster state between full cluster
-# restarts. Every change to the state (such as adding an index) will be stored

-# it will read its state from the gateway.
-
-# There are several types of gateway implementations. For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-gateway.html>.
-
-# The default gateway type is the "local" gateway (recommended):
-#
-# gateway.type: local
-
-# Settings below control how and when to start the initial recovery process on
-# a full cluster restart (to reuse as much local data as possible when using shared
-# gateway).
-
-# Allow recovery process after N nodes in a cluster are up:
-#
-gateway.recover_after_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the timeout to initiate the recovery process, once the N nodes
-# from previous setting are up (accepts time value):
-#
-# gateway.recover_after_time: 5m
-
-# Set how many nodes are expected in this cluster. Once these N nodes
-# are up (and recover_after_nodes is met), begin recovery process immediately
-# (without waiting for recover_after_time to expire):

-gateway.expected_nodes: 1
-
-
-############################# Recovery Throttling #############################
-
-# These settings allow to control the process of shards allocation between
-# nodes during initial recovery, replica allocation, rebalancing,
-# or when adding and removing nodes.
-
-# Set the number of concurrent recoveries happening on a node:
-#
-# 1. During the initial recovery

-#
-# 2. During adding/removing nodes, rebalancing, etc
-#
-# cluster.routing.allocation.node_concurrent_recoveries: 2
-
-# Set to throttle throughput when recovering (eg. 100mb, by default 20mb):

-################################## Discovery ##################################
-
-# Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster
-# and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.
-
-# Set to ensure a node sees N other master eligible nodes to be considered
-# operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher value
-# than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.
-#
-# discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.
-# Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network
-# to minimize discovery failures:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
-
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html>
-
-# Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used
-# to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,
-# or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.
-#
-# 1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
-#
-# 2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster
-#    to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2:port"]
-
-# EC2 discovery allows to use AWS EC2 API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-aws plugin for enabling the EC2 discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-ec2.html>
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/>
-# for a step-by-step tutorial.
-
-# GCE discovery allows to use Google Compute Engine API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-gce plugin for enabling the GCE discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-gce>.

-##################### Elasticsearch Configuration Example #####################
-
-# This file contains an overview of various configuration settings,
-# targeted at operations staff. Application developers should
-# consult the guide at <http://elasticsearch.org/guide>.
-#
-# The installation procedure is covered at
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup.html>.
-#
-# Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings,
-# so you can try it out without bothering with configuration.
-#
-# Most of the time, these defaults are just fine for running a production
-# cluster. If you're fine-tuning your cluster, or wondering about the
-# effect of certain configuration option, please _do ask_ on the
-# mailing list or IRC channel [http://elasticsearch.org/community].
-
-# Any element in the configuration can be replaced with environment variables
-# by placing them in ${...} notation. For example:
-#
-# node.rack: ${RACK_ENV_VAR}
-
-# For information on supported formats and syntax for the config file, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-configuration.html>
-
-
-################################### Cluster ###################################
-
-# Cluster name identifies your cluster for auto-discovery. If you're running
-# multiple clusters on the same network, make sure you're using unique names.
-#
-# cluster.name: elasticsearch
-
-
-#################################### Node #####################################
-
-# Node names are generated dynamically on startup, so you're relieved
-# from configuring them manually. You can tie this node to a specific name:
-#
-# node.name: "Franz Kafka"
-
-# Every node can be configured to allow or deny being eligible as the master,
-# and to allow or deny to store the data.
-#
-# Allow this node to be eligible as a master node (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.master: true
-#
-# Allow this node to store data (enabled by default):
-#
-# node.data: true
-
-# You can exploit these settings to design advanced cluster topologies.
-#
-# 1. You want this node to never become a master node, only to hold data.
-#    This will be the "workhorse" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: true
-#
-# 2. You want this node to only serve as a master: to not store any data and
-#    to have free resources. This will be the "coordinator" of your cluster.
-#
-# node.master: true
-# node.data: false
-#
-# 3. You want this node to be neither master nor data node, but
-#    to act as a "search load balancer" (fetching data from nodes,
-#    aggregating results, etc.)
-#
-# node.master: false
-# node.data: false
-
-# Use the Cluster Health API [http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health], the
-# Node Info API [http://localhost:9200/_nodes] or GUI tools
-# such as <http://www.elasticsearch.org/overview/marvel/>,
-# <http://github.com/karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic>,
-# <http://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk> and
-# <http://mobz.github.com/elasticsearch-head> to inspect the cluster state.
-
-# A node can have generic attributes associated with it, which can later be used
-# for customized shard allocation filtering, or allocation awareness. An attribute
-# is a simple key value pair, similar to node.key: value, here is an example:
-#
-# node.rack: rack314
-
-# By default, multiple nodes are allowed to start from the same installation location
-# to disable it, set the following:
-# node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
-
-
-#################################### Index ####################################
-
-# You can set a number of options (such as shard/replica options, mapping
-# or analyzer definitions, translog settings, ...) for indices globally,
-# in this file.
-#
-# Note, that it makes more sense to configure index settings specifically for
-# a certain index, either when creating it or by using the index templates API.
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules.html> and
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-create-index.html>
-# for more information.
-
-# Set the number of shards (splits) of an index (5 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_shards: 5
-
-# Set the number of replicas (additional copies) of an index (1 by default):
-#
-# index.number_of_replicas: 1
-
-# Note, that for development on a local machine, with small indices, it usually
-# makes sense to "disable" the distributed features:
-#
-index.number_of_shards: 1
-index.number_of_replicas: 0
-
-# These settings directly affect the performance of index and search operations
-# in your cluster. Assuming you have enough machines to hold shards and
-# replicas, the rule of thumb is:
-#
-# 1. Having more *shards* enhances the _indexing_ performance and allows to
-#    _distribute_ a big index across machines.
-# 2. Having more *replicas* enhances the _search_ performance and improves the
-#    cluster _availability_.
-#
-# The "number_of_shards" is a one-time setting for an index.
-#
-# The "number_of_replicas" can be increased or decreased anytime,
-# by using the Index Update Settings API.
-#
-# Elasticsearch takes care about load balancing, relocating, gathering the
-# results from nodes, etc. Experiment with different settings to fine-tune
-# your setup.
-
-# Use the Index Status API (<http://localhost:9200/A/_status>) to inspect

-################################## Discovery ##################################
-
-# Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster
-# and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.
-
-# Set to ensure a node sees N other master eligible nodes to be considered
-# operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher value
-# than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.
-#
-# discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1
-
-# Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.
-# Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network
-# to minimize discovery failures:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
-
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-zen.html>
-
-# Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used
-# to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,
-# or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.
-#
-# 1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
-#
-# 2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster
-#    to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:
-#
-# discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2:port"]
-
-# EC2 discovery allows to use AWS EC2 API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-aws plugin for enabling the EC2 discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see
-# <http://elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-ec2.html>
-#
-# See <http://elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/>
-# for a step-by-step tutorial.
-
-# GCE discovery allows to use Google Compute Engine API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-gce plugin for enabling the GCE discovery.
-#
-# For more information, see <https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-gce>.
-
-# Azure discovery allows to use Azure API in order to perform discovery.
-#
-# You have to install the cloud-azure plugin for enabling the Azure discovery.
