Hi All,

Is there a way to close all index by a node attribute? In a hot-warm architecture, for example, I want to close all warm indexes with

```auto
"index": {
        "routing": {
          "allocation": {
            "include": {
              "tag": "warm"
            }
          }
        },

```

I checked Curator but I did not see such a feature.

[Curator 4](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/4.0/index.html) (still in development) will allow you to [filter by shard allocation rules](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/4.0/filtertype_allocated.html).
