I accidently fat fingered a curator command and updated the indices with the wrong tag. "tag": "hdd"  
Is there a way i can manually remove this from the index?

{  
"logstash-2015.06.24": {  
"settings": {  
"index": {  
"routing": {  
"allocation": {  
"total\_shards\_per\_node": "2",  
"require": {  
"disk\_type": "hdd",  
"tag": "hdd"  
}

Just set the tag as an empty value, that should do it 🙂

Perfect. This resolved it

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/logstash-2015.07.02/\_settings -d '{ "index.routing.allocation.require.tag" : ""}'
