Recently I tried cluster.routing.allocation.exclude.\_ip and it worked once I had actually set the IP address, I had presumed that ES would look up the address for me. I also tried setting the parameter to 2 names in an array and while this was accepted it didn't seem to do anything. In the end I decided to look at the source code and I found that as well as \_ip there was \_host, \_name and \_id which pleased me as I plan to have multiple nodes per host. I wonder though if these are new or deprecated. /Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
