Hello,

I want to move specific index from SSD to HDD.

I set yml as followings,

node.type: ssd  
(node1,node2)  
node.type: hdd  
(node3,node4)

And BI to SSD servers with followings,

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings -d '{  
"transient" : {  
"cluster.routing.allocation.include.\_ip" : "192.168.xx.xx,192.168.xx.yy"  
}  
}'

- 192.168.xx.xx is node1, 192.168.xx.yy is node2

After all data inserted into node1 and node2, I tried to move specific index to HDD from SSD as followings..

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/test-2014.08.22/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/test-2014.08.22/_settings) -d '{"index.routing.allocation.include.type": "hdd"}'

But index test-2014.08.22 did not move.  
Is routing command wrong ?  
How can I move the index to HDD node ?

Any hints welcome,  
Nobuo Miwa
