How to set number\_of\_replicas at creation index at elasticsearch ?  
I am using template with

> {  
> "index": {  
> "number\_of\_replicas": "0",  
> "mapping": {  
> "total\_fields": {  
> "limit": "10000"  
> }  
> },  
> "refresh\_interval": "5s"  
> }  
> }

But index setting after creation is "number\_of\_replicas": "1",
