You do not need to empty the host before moving it in the crush map. It will just cause data movement because you are removing an item under root and changing the crush weight of the rack. There is no way I am aware of to really ease into this data movement other than to stare it head on and utilize osd_max_backfills to control disk io in your cluster.
Are you changing you're failure domain to rack from host after this is done? Changing that in the crush map will cause everything to peer at once and then instigate a lot of data movement. You can do both moving the hosts into their racks and change the failure domain in the same update to only move data once. You would do that by downloading the crush map, modifying it, and then uploading it back into the cluster. It would be smart to test this on a test cluster. You could even do it on a 3 node cluster by changing each node to its own rack and setting the failure domain to rack.
