Disable primary shard allocation on a set of nodes

Hello everyone - I have been looking at shard allocation awareness and
trying to see if there is a way I can specify "do not assign
primaryshards to these set of nodes".

any idea how this can be achieved? thanks much!

Why do you want to do that? All shards have about the same load unless you use _primary or _local preference.
primary or replica is just a boolean attribute on a shard, right?

I might be wrong here to assume that primary shards might have a bit more
load compared to replicas since the write request goes to them first and
then they propagate to replicas. Would be great to get some enlightenment
around how this process works (from load perspective)?

At the end, the same indexation process happens on the replica. So IMHO, it's somehow the same load on each node.
