When specifiing both the shard and replica count, the shard count gets stepped on and defaults to 5. In the debugger, under settings there is only the single entry. Snippet below:

// specify alias, and new rollover index name  
RolloverRequest request = new RolloverRequest(codeList, codeList-000002);  
request.dryRun(false);  
request.addMaxIndexAgeCondition(new TimeValue(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS));  
request.getCreateIndexRequest().mapping(className, jsonStr, XContentType.JSON);  
request.getCreateIndexRequest().settings(Settings.builder().put("index.number\_of\_shards", 1));  
request.getCreateIndexRequest().settings(Settings.builder().put("index.number\_of\_replicas", 0));  
RolloverResponse rolloverResponse = client.indices().rollover(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

// all following status vars come back as expected  
boolean acknowledged = rolloverResponse.isAcknowledged();  
boolean shardsAcked = rolloverResponse.isShardsAcknowledged();  
String oldIndex = rolloverResponse.getOldIndex();  
String newIndex = rolloverResponse.getNewIndex();  
boolean isRolledOver = rolloverResponse.isRolledOver();  
boolean isDryRun = rolloverResponse.isDryRun();
