Yellow health status creating shards

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We are running a 2 node Elasticsearch 0.16.2 cluster in embedded mode
and tried to create an index similar to

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/socorro/' -d '

index :
number_of_shards : 3
number_of_replicas : 2
'

The response is "ok", however, the health API continues to show status
as "yellow"

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health

{"cluster_name":"socorro","status":"yellow","timed_out":false,"number_of_nodes":2,"number_of_data_nodes":2,"active_primary_shards":3,"active_shards":6,"relocating_shards":0,"initializing_shards":0,"unassigned_shards":3}

Any idea what might be going wrong here?

because your set index repica is 2,but you just have only 2 nodes,so
if you start another node,you will have "green".
