Dear team,

we have enlarged our cluster by adding two nodes to it.

However we have ended up with situation that data are not evenly distributed among them.

Please check table below:  
`133` `2` `.5tb ` `2` `.5tb ` `1` `.4tb ` `3` `.9tb ` `62` `10.198` `.` `138.149` `10.198` `.` `138.149` `logstashatp4`

`133` `3` `.3tb ` `3` `.3tb ` `669` `.9gb ` `3` `.9tb ` `83` `10.198` `.` `138.58` `10.198` `.` `138.58` `logstashatp6`

`133` `2` `.6tb ` `2` `.6tb ` `1` `.3tb ` `3` `.9tb ` `65` `10.198` `.` `138.147` `10.198` `.` `138.147` `logstashatp3`

`133` `3` `.2tb ` `3` `.2tb ` `804` `.7gb ` `3` `.9tb ` `80` `10.198` `.` `138.56` `10.198` `.` `138.56` `logstashatp5`

Half of the nodes are almost reaching 85% watermark.  
What do you think we shall do? What could help here?  
ELS version 7.12

Thanks
