Yes, target nodes have `node.attr.storage_type: spinning`  
I've been reallocating indices during the last half-year with my own script

`#!/bin/bash`

`INDEX=$1`  
`NODE_TYPE=$2`

`if [[-z $INDEX || -z $NODE_TYPE]] ; then`  
`echo "Usage: $0 <index> <ssd|spinning|hot|archive>"`  
`exit 1`  
`fi`

`curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -s -XPUT "http://``hostname``:9200/$INDEX/_settings" -d '{ "index.routing.allocation.require.storage_type" : "'"$NODE_TYPE"'", "index.routing.allocation.require.tag" : "" }' `
