Just Pushed: Allow to disable shard allocations

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Heya,

Just pushed support to allow to suspend shard allocation:
https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1358. This can come in
handy when wanting to restart a node without shards being allocated as a
result of that (just don't forget to enable it back once the node has been
restarted).

Hi,

in which way it affects the cluster status reported on
/_cluster/health, is it still green or still goes to yellow ?

Thanks,
Ludo

It will be yellow, since not all shards will be allocated.
