When I  shutdown and restart Elasticsearch on my Ubuntu laptop, the status 
is yellow until I attempt to open an index, at which time the status 
changes to red. The output for

    curl "http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true";

is

    {
      "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
      "status" : "red",
      "timed_out" : false,
      "number_of_nodes" : 1,
      "number_of_data_nodes" : 1,
      "active_primary_shards" : 2,
      "active_shards" : 2,
      "relocating_shards" : 0,
      "initializing_shards" : 5,
      "unassigned_shards" : 7
    }

I've tried deleting all but one index, shutting down and restarting. I've 
also tried issuing

    curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/testindex2/_settings' -d 
'{"index.routing.allocation.disable_allocation": false}'

shutting down and restarting. I've also tried issuing

  curl XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/reroute?pretty=true' -d 
'{"commands" : [ { "allocate" : {  "index" : "testindex1", "shard" : 4 , 
"node" : "gdVC517DR4OiE0v44_1n5A", "allow_primary" : 1 } }]}’

for one particular index and shard, with no apparent effect on the output of

    curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state?pretty=true

In each case, I shutdown with

    curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_shutdown'

and restarted with

    /etc/init.d/elasticsearch restart

The one remaining undeleted index is currently used only for 
experimentation. I can delete and then re-establish it if necessary. Or I 
can apply a bigger sledgehammer if necessary.

I found elements of diagnostics and suggested solutions by searching the 
web. I am not now, and possibly I will never be, a qualified Elasticsearch 
administrator. I'd be grateful for suggestions on how to fix this, in terms 
a child can understand.
