Does wait_for_relocating_shards in the cluster health api return value if waiting?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm writing a bash shell script to handle rolling restart for production
cluster..

If the cluster is truly waiting on relocating shards, and I'm checking with curl
-XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?wait_for_relocating_shards=yellow&timeout=50s'
-- does it return a value or just pause for the timeout duration?

One might ask why I didn't just try.. I'm not in a maint window atm :wink:

Thx,
-Steve

sorry that curl paste has a typo.. should've been: curl -XGET '
http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?wait_for_relocating_shards=0&timeout=50s
http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9200%2F_cluster%2Fhealth%3Fwait_for_relocating_shards%3Dyellow%26timeout%3D50s&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEThGz4S_gocbrmY96879F00YEmSw
