I created a brand new index, the following deprecation notice is displayed. How to suppress it .  
Version : 6.8.8

> #! Deprecation: the default number of shards will change from [5] to [1] in 7.0.0; if you wish to continue using the default of [5] shards, you must manage this on the create index request or with an index template

I applied simple index create request

PUT ecommercesite/product/1  
{  
"product\_name": "Men High Performance Fleece Jacket",  
"description": "Best Value. All season fleece jacket",  
"unit\_price": 79.99  
}

As the error message says, you need to use an index template.

Yes. One Index template or creating manually the index by providing index settings will remove the deprecated message.
