Hi guys,

I've set some cluster settings using the API, I'd like reset the settings  
to default value  
{  
"persistent" : {},  
"transient" : {}  
}

I tried these requests [https://gist.github.com/583bc1cbc053baedeff4](https://gist.github.com/583bc1cbc053baedeff4)

Only defined values as empty string ("") was saved on ES but I see some  
parsing error on logs.

Is there a way to reset settings?

Thanks,
