@magnusbaeck**\_shutdown API " curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/nodes/\_local/\_shutdown](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes/_local/_shutdown)' "** is now deprecated? What should I use instead of this?

For example `service elasticsearch stop` or whatever your operating system provides.
