Greetings, I have a question about Shard balancing. I have a 5 Node Cluster with a particular Index that has 4 Shards, 1 Replica So 8 Shards total.
And when I look at the Index it is allocated as follows; (Note: P=primary, R=replica) Node 1: P0 Node 2: P1, P2, P3 Node 3: Node 4: R0 Node 5: R1, R2, R3 Clearly, this is not well balanced. I was hoping that it would -- over time -- balance to something like this Node 1: P0, Node 2: P1, R3 Node 3: P2, R2 Node 4: P3, R1 Node 5: R0, I've read the doc on cluster allocation, but I don't really see how I can force a more balanced distribution easily. But I am likely missing something.... And also, I worry about fiddling with some of these settings and the adverse effect they may have on reallocation if/when a Node fails.
