How to use "index.allocation.max_retries"

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

How do I set "index.allocation.max.retries" ?
(https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/cluster-reroute.html#_retry_failed_shards)

What is the time unit in seconds or minutes?

Also, how do I use '?retry_failed' in the '_reroute' API?
