Hi,

i currently have 5 node setup 4 data nodes and 1 master only.  
The current configuration is awareness by zone.

```
   Zone1 Zone2
+---------+ +---------+
| | | |
| Node1 | | Node3 |
| | | |
| Node2 | | Node4 |
| | | |
+---------+ +---------+

```

Until here everything is fine.. but now i want to configure an index that is only allocated in zone1  
E.g. Create a 2 shard index that replicas are on the other host in the same zone.

Is it possible to configure zone awareness over zones and create an index like that at the same time?
