Index level setting is not allowed in elastic search.yml with 5.0.0.  
And with \_setting or \_template  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "unknown setting [index.query.bool.max\_clause\_count]"  
}  
],  
"type": "illegal\_argument\_exception",  
"reason": "unknown setting [index.query.bool.max\_clause\_count]"  
},  
"status": 400  
}

Any insight or work-around?
