Hi , We have recently started using elasticsearch and I have very basic question about how rebalancing works between nodes if shards are being moved due to a failure.
eg. Lets say we have ES deployed in AWS Ec2 region and replicas are "Zone Aware" and num of replicas = 1. Considering that we have 3 zones in Ec2, if One entire zone goes down, ES will start rebalancing shards associated with failed zone to remaining Two zones. And before rebalancing is complete (entire data set is not yet copied), if failed zone comes back up again, does ES try to rebalance (or move) shards which have partial data to the new zone ? or does it wait for previous rebalancing to finish (until entire data set is copied) and then start rebalancing again ? If answer is former then will there be any data loss due to moving shards with partial data ?
