Suppose I set the minimum master nodes setting via a dynamic API call:

```
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
    "persistent" : {
        "discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes" : 2
    }
}

```

Later I want to remove that setting such that it adheres to the configuration file's value. What would be the steps for doing that?
