hello
I am googling almost 5 hrs and cant find information about how to change default number of shards (which is 5) clusterwide
I know how to set number of shards during index creation or using template or set the number for templates but I need set default number for whole cluster
in old versions I was able control default number of shards and replicas from yml config file but now I cant
and I cant find any information about that
could you help
thnx
You can create an index template which applies to all indices.
