Disable cluster rebalancing for replicas

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I have a 3-node ES (v1.2.1) cluster with 1 replica. When there is a node
failure, the cluster rebalances and allocates primary shards(6 per index)
and replicas among the remaining 2 nodes which is fine. But we had an issue
where the disk space filled up and brought the whole cluster down. I
understand that we should allocate enough disk space to all nodes, but is
there a way to disable re-allocation of replicas ? On a node failure, we
want the replica to get promoted to primary, but we don't want new replicas
to be allocated among the remaining 2 nodes. Replicas should get allocated
when the cluster has 3 members. I have looked at cluster.routing.allocation*rebalance
options but I'm confused. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Arun
