Hello:

I have a cluster in yellow with 27 instances 10 shards and 2 replicas.

size: 56.2G (129G)  
docs: 158.935.862 (159.132.956)

I have the plugin head with refresh quickly and the replicas are jumping  
from instance to instance. Always trying in instances with no diskspace.

All the instances have 60g and have some with 360g

How can I resolve this?

Any pointer would help

I'm thinking in shuting down the instances with full disk. Delete the  
content of path.data and restart the instances againg and hope maybe the  
shards to stop jumping all the time.

What do you think?

I add more info:

I have the plugin head with refresh quickly and I see that some replicas  
are constatly jumping between nodes. Does it make any sense? for instance,  
in one of the nodes I see the replica of shard 1 in yellow, then replica of  
2, then no shard nor replica at all, then the replica in yellow of the 9  
shard. And the disk space is is turning to %80. I checked and all the nodes  
have the same master. I also tried the rerouting api without success given  
that I can't move shards that are not unassigned. any pointer can help.  
thanks in advance
