Hello,

Just wondering what's the expected behaviour when we change the `node.attr.data` attribute from hot to warm in elasticsearch.yml and restart elasticsearch. As I'm preparing to add some new warm nodes to our cluster, I tried that on our QA and nothing seems to happen. How can I move all indices that are still in hot phase on the node that is warm to hot nodes?

Grtz

Willem
