Best practice to put a node under maintenance

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,

I've a simple question, is there a way to move a specific shard from a
node to a specific other node ?

For example, if I don't want a to have any replicas, and my data is set
as many shards on many nodes:

NODE1:
SHARD1,SHARD4

NODE2:
SHARD2,SHARD5

NODE3:
SHARD3,SHARD6

If I shutdown the NODE3, SHARD3 and SHARD6 will be unavailable. How can
I move SHARD3 to NODE1, and SHARD6 to NODE2 without setting replica=1
to this index ?

Thanks !

Probably I don't properly understand your usecase, but if you have
replica>1 then there is no problem with removing the node3 as the
shards are already replicated (at least once) to another node(s), no?

It is possible in master (upcoming 0.18):
Cluster / Index level allocation filtering · Issue #1311 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub, by excluding
that relevant node for shard allocation (can be done also based on IP, see
at the bottom of the issue).
