Adding the 3rd node on 0.20.5 , (5 primary , 1 replica) did not rebalance based on count

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

hi all,

I have a 2 node 0.20.5 cluster with 5 shards and 1 replica
I have jut added a 3rd node
and rebalacing ended
To my best knowledge the shards should be distributed evenly across the
nodes
so I should have something like 3 shards per node and 4 shard on a single
node
for some reason on most indices one node holds 5 primary and replica shards
and the rest is divided evenly
why is that happening ?

Can I force a re-balance to the cluster ? without restarting it ?

Thanks,
Kobi
