Just pushed support to allow to control the replication type for relevant  
operations which include index, delete, and delete\_by\_query. It can be  
controlled both as a global (node) level setting, and per operation. This  
should benefit indexing performance for clients which can't push data fast  
enough to elasticsearch. See more here:  
[http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/196](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/196).

cheers,
