I think elasticsearch 6.4 is very different from 6.1 since the commands working in 6.1 doesn't work in 6.4.  
how can I create a simple index to test in 6.4? the following command is failing

curl -X PUT '[http://node1:9200/testidx](http://node1:9200/testidx)' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"acknowledged":"true"}'
