Hi Team,

Please let me know the usage of below command and it's impact on the cluster performance:

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings' -d '  
{  
"transient" :  
{ "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold\_enabled" : false }  
}'

Where did you get these lines from?

The setting itself is documented here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/disk-allocator.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/disk-allocator.html)
