Hi everyone,

is it possible to read cluster settings with Elasticsearch's Java API? I want to read the value of the setting "cluster.routing.allocation.enable". But I only find ways to update settings and not read a setting with the Java API.

So, is there anyone who can help me? Thanks in advance!
