Hi, I'm trying to run ES from my IDE. Everything is fine with 5.x using `transport.type: local` setting. But as soon as I change to 6.0.0-beta2 I get this exception: ```auto [2017-10-02T10:43:49,295][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [] initializing ...

In 5.x, the local transport was added in the NetworkModule constructor. This is not true anymore in 6.0.x. Which is weird, because I see you have left a dangling, unused constant: ```java public static final String LOCAL_TRANSPORT = "local"; ``` How can I tell ES 6.0.\* to use local transport? Otherwise it doesn't even start ☹ ---

OK then that constant is a left over? ---

Yes, I [removed](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/commit/8a20dae6207e927576287c1742592d3e1b932065) it. ---
