I made the following setting to my Elasticsearch cluster in order to decommission some old nodes in the cluster. After removed these old nodes, now I need to re-enable the cluster to allocate shards on those '10.0.6.\*' nodes. Does anyone know how to remove this setting? ``` PUT /_cluster/settings { "transient": { "cluster.routing.allocation.exclude._ip": "10.0.6.*" } } ``` Thanks in advance for any help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

why this didn't work on my es : GET /\_cluster/settings { "persistent": { "discovery": { "zen": { "minimum\_master\_nodes": "2" } } }, "transient": { "indices": { "recovery": { "translog\_size": "1024kb", "concurrent\_streams": "3", "translog\_ops": "2000", "max\_bytes\_per\_sec": "400mb", "file\_chunk\_size": "1024kb" } } } } PUT \_cluster/settings { "transient": { "indices.recovery.translog\_size":"" } } response: { "acknowledged": true, "persistent": {}, "transient": {} } When I do GET again, this setting still exists.
