笔者在自己的 ubuntu 服务器上使用 GET /_cat/health?v 命令时，返回值如下所示：
可以看到集群状态为 yellow，这是什么意思呢？原来在 es 的集群状态中，有三种情况，官网描述如下。
1.RED: Some or all of (primary) shards are not ready.
2.YELLOW: Elasticsearch has allocated all of the primary shards, but some/all of the replicas have not been allocated.
3.GREEN: Great. Your cluster is fully operational. Elasticsearch is able to allocate all shards and replicas to machines within the cluster.
由此可知，我们的分片副本还没有被分配到某个节点上。这是因为笔者目前的 es 集群由单节点组成，副本集没有足够的节点容纳它。解决办法也非常简单，由于笔者最近都是单机演示，这里也给出单机的解决方案。
笔者的 es 实例文件夹放在 elasticsearch\elasticsearch-5.2.2 文件夹下，将其复制一份为 elasticsearch\elasticsearch-5.2.2_node 放在同个文件夹下，然后按照正常步骤启动即可。再次使用 GET /_cat/health?v 查看时，便会返回一下内容。
