4 primary shards instead of 3

Hello

I created an index with 3 primarys shards but ElasticSearch return and
indicate that there are 4 primary shards.

Deleting the data in the cluster

DELETE /_all

Create an index with 3 primary shards with 1 replica each

PUT /blogs
{
"settings" : {
"number_of_shards" : 3,
"number_of_replicas" : 1
}
}

Retrieve the cluster health

GET /_cluster/health

And here is the response :

{
"cluster_name": "clus",
"status": "yellow",
"timed_out": false,
"number_of_nodes": 1,
"number_of_data_nodes": 1,
"active_primary_shards": 4,
"active_shards": 4,
"relocating_shards": 0,
"initializing_shards": 0,
"unassigned_shards": 4
}

I thought that there was only the number of replica shards that could
change and that the number of primary shards was fixed at the time that the
index was created, where does come from the fourth primary shard ?

Are you using marvel at all? It uses an index with a single shard by
default.
