Get node2 running with rock. Then issue a disable_allocation and then bring
up node1.
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_cluster/settings -d
'{"transient":{"cluster.routing.allocation.disable_allocation":true}}'

>From there, adjust the replica settings on the indexes down to 0 so they
dont copy. Once thats set, change disable_allocation to false.
