I am using the Elastic on Kubernetes (operator version 2.1).

How can I enable or disable the following annotation on the ElasticSearch nodes managed by ECK?  
"[cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict](http://cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict)": \<Set it to "true" OR "false"\>

Thanks  
Aqua
