Curator: During Shrink, replicas assigned to ignored nodes

Hi All,

ElasticSearch 6.5.4 and Curator 5.6

I'm testing out curator and have it successfully moving shards from 'hot' nodes to 'warm' nodes.

I'm now looking at shrinking the shards down to 3 (3 warm nodes). This is working 'sort of' except that the replica shards are being initialised on my 'hot' / nodes in the ignored list then being moved back to warm once they have been initialised on the wrong nodes.

Also I'm seeing all 3 active shards being created on one 'warm' node then again being redistributed once the process in complete.

Is there anything wrong with my config or a feature of curator?

My curator config is this:

1:
action: shrink

Shrink selected indices on the node with the most available space.
Delete source index after successful shrink, then reroute the shrunk
index with the provided parameters.
