Hi,

I have started elasticsearch as a standalone process.After it's starting i have tried to run the "curl 10.2..1.50:9202/\_cat/shards" .But it's returning the following "ClusterBlockException".Also in log it seems a rest suppressed .Can anyone tell me i have missed anything or what is the root cause for this exception.
