有时，我们的ES集群小，或者是测试时，只启动一个es时，我们需要将分片数设小，副本数设为0。要不然集群一直是yellow状态。
elasticsearch.yml 里设置index.number_of_shards参数已经废弃，会报错：

[elklog@iZ2ze16gjdevwfzy53xejgZ logs]$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{ > "index.number_of_replicas" : "0" > }' {"error":"Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported","status":406}[elklog@iZ2ze16gjdevwfzy53xejgZ logs]$ 看来还需要设置http头信息：
[elklog@iZ2ze16gjdevwfzy53xejgZ logs]$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{ > "index.number_of_replicas" : "0" > }' {"acknowledged":true}分片设置同理：
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_settings?preserve_existing=true' -d '{ "index.number_of_shards" : "1" }'
