Hello

Is there a way to get value of default settings that are used by ES?  
For example index refresh duration. default is 1s, but when I query the /\_settings endpoint, it won't give that information if its not set. I would like to see all the settings for an index.\*

Similarly for other default cluster, node settings.

regards  
Gopal
