-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I'm pleased to announce the initial release of our (Sonian's) ElasticSearch Equilibrium plugin. The elasticsearch-equilibrium plugin replaces ElasticSearch's EvenShardsCountAllocator with an allocator that prevents allocating shards when a disk threshold has been reached. It also adds a REST endpoint for rebalancing shards across a cluster to even out disk space. For more information and how to install/use the plugin, see: > **[sonian/elasticsearch-equilibrium](https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-equilibrium)** > > Contribute to elasticsearch-equilibrium development by creating an account on GitHub.

Hi Lee, Thanks, this sounds nice. Does this take into account shards and their replicas to ensure that no more than 1 copy of a shard is placed on any 1 server? ## Otis Performance Monitoring - [Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) Search Analytics - [Cloud Monitoring Tools & Services | Sematext](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) On Friday, November 16, 2012 12:15:17 PM UTC-5, Lee Hinman wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi All, > > I'm pleased to announce the initial release of our (Sonian's) > Elasticsearch Equilibrium plugin.
