Hi, I'm using elasticsearch on AWS. with EC2 and S3, following guide  
[http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/)

Everything seems work fine, just one thing,  
When I put data into elasticsearch, S3 creates datas, but also there are  
datas created under $ES\_HOME/data path.

Is there a way to use only S3 storage for es datas?  
I mean if I put data into es, it will store only in S3 and will not copy  
into /data .  
because EC2 volume is too small for my working logs.

Thanks.
