Hello guys, I need your advice I have next cluster [http://prntscr.com/bilh2s](http://prntscr.com/bilh2s) As you can see two nodes have a 32TB hard disk. I want to relocate 80% of data to this nodes and 20% to other 4 nodes. How can I make it? It's elasticsearch 1.7.5 on board 8 shards with 1 replica. ---

You should be able to allocate a majority of whole indices to the nodes with more disk space using [shard allocation awareness](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/allocation-awareness.html). You can designate the nodes with smaller amount of disk space to belong to one zone and the two more powerful node to a different zone. You should then be able specify the zone indices should be located in and get the distribution you want. ---

It has been available for quite some time. [Here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.7/modules-cluster.html#allocation-awareness) is a link to the 1.7 version of the docs. ---
