Hi,

I would like to set replica settings at the cluster level instead of index level.  
Despite the template settings I would like my indices to be created with 0 replicas.

Could someone help me how to achieve this,

- how to set replica to just 1 systemwide irrespective of index.

I tried using templates with priorities but that is not working as expected since using \* in the index patterns is overriding all other templates even though priorities are set lower for this one.
