Hi All, We are testing our upgrade to es 6, and the way we do our backups need to change a bit. In the older versions, we would call the index with "translog.disable\_flush": true this disables the flushing to disk of the translog, so we could do an rsync, and capture a specific state of the node. This does not appear to be in the es 6 code base anymore. So, what would be the equivalent way to do this in es 6? Thanks, Scott ---

Wanted to bump this to the es folks. Any recommendations for how to disable the flush, or somehow do the same action, but with new es commands? ---
