I've been attempting to programatically verify that adding index templates via the `{path.conf}/templates/` directory works fine although I was never able to validate this via an API call to the `/_template/`. It seems that these templates do not appear in that API call, which I discovered in the following mail thread:
http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Loading-of-index-settings-template-from-file-in-config-templates-td4024923.html#d1366317284000-912
My question is why wouldn't the `/_template/*` method return these templates? This tends to complicate things for those that want to perform automated tests to verify that they are in fact being recognized and used by Elasticsearch.
The possibility of filtering for index templates in the cluster state API
had been introduced before there was a dedicated index templates API. This
commit removes this support from the cluster state API, as it was not really
clean, requiring you to specify the metadata and the index templates.
Closes#4954
/_template shows: No handler found for uri [/_template] and method [GET]
It would make sense to list the templates as they are listed in the /_cluster/state call.
Closes#2532.
