Hi,
we use ES 1.4.4 and we want to upgrade our memory at the 10 Datastore, 2 Clients, 3 Proxys and 3 Master Server.
Before we do this i want to disable the shard allocation und enable it after the hardware upgrade.
I want to do this with:
PUT /\_cluster/settings
{
"transient" : {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable" : "none"
}
}
AND
PUT /\_cluster/settings
{
"transient" : {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable" : "all"
}
}
But,
the query alert an request error.
I am use the rest API of the head plugin and have no idea why i cant use this query.
Can anyone please help me?

Can you share the errors being returned when executing these two requests?
Also do you see any errors related to this in the logs?
