HI
when I start my es cluster, the health status always red.

**I have other es clusters also using a similar configuration file,it's no problem.**

Why did you add:
```

gateway.recover_after_time: 10m
gateway.recover_after_nodes: 4
```

Because my previous cluster is 5 nodes, plus this configuration is to quickly restart, I removed the configuration on the normal, very grateful
