Hi Guys, I was using Elasticsearch 2.3.5, and trying to update settings but I got this.  
Reference link: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/indices-update-settings.html#update-settings-analysis](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.4/indices-update-settings.html#update-settings-analysis)

Error:  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"action\_request\_validation\_exception","reason":"Validation Failed: 1: no settings to update;"}],"type":"action\_request\_validation\_exception","reason":"Validation Failed: 1: no settings to update;"},"status":400}

My Code:  
curl -s -XPUT localhost:9200/dev/\_close  
curl -s -XPUT localhost:9200/dev/\_settings -d@${dirname "$0"}/index\_settings.json  
curl -s -XPUT localhost:9200/dev/\_open

index\_settings.json  
{  
"analysis" : {  
"tokenizer" : {  
"comma" : {  
"type" : "pattern",  
"pattern" : ","  
}  
},  
"analyzer" : {  
"comma" : {  
"type" : "custom",  
"tokenizer" : "comma"  
}  
}  
}

}
