Elasticsearch adds one more shard when on index creation

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I have a problem with one node cluster. When i create index with 10 shards,
it adds one more active shard. First i thought that it is replica shard,
but than i read that there is no replica on single node cluster. Is this
some problem in settings or it is normal?

Thanks

Did you specify the replica count as well as the shard count? By default ES
will add a replica unless you specifically tell it not to.
You can check this using the _cat APIs

Also 10 shards is a bit of overkill for a single node, unless you are
intending on extending the cluster to more nodes of course.
