How many nodes elastic search creates on single machine by defaults

I have ELK setup. with elastic search version 2.3.x. I wanted to know how many nodes by default it should create. I have noticed a weird situation. When I restarted elastic search it started with 3 nodes. There are multiple folder in data path ( /var/lib/elasticsearch/0 , 1 , 2 ,3). But when I restart it again it took only one node. I wanted to know how it is defining a number of nodes. 

# curl -s -XGET "http://localhost:9200/_cat/nodes?v"

Because of this many shared are showing un-assigned due to lack of nodes

Your single elasticsearch installation on one machine is one node, if you want to have more u need to have multiple elastic installations running. See here for further details.
