Hello

I created an index with 3 primarys shards but ElasticSearch return and 
indicate that there are 4 primary shards.

# Deleting the data in the cluster
DELETE /_all

# Create an index with 3 primary shards with 1 replica each
PUT /blogs
{
   "settings" : {
      "number_of_shards" : 3,
      "number_of_replicas" : 1
   }
}

# Retrieve the cluster health
GET /_cluster/health

And here is the response :

{
   "cluster_name": "clus",
   "status": "yellow",
   "timed_out": false,
   "number_of_nodes": 1,
   "number_of_data_nodes": 1,
   "active_primary_shards": 4,
   "active_shards": 4,
   "relocating_shards": 0,
   "initializing_shards": 0,
   "unassigned_shards": 4
}

I thought that there was only the number of replica shards that could 
change and that the number of primary shards was fixed at the time that the 
index was created, where does come from the fourth primary shard ?
