Hi,

we have a cluster composed of 2 nodes ... I am new to ES ... but I noticed  
that data directories assigned to each node are not holding the same size  
of data inside

the disk usage on node01 is :

$ sudo du -sh \*  
1.7G d1  
488M d2  
5.1G d3  
1.7G d4  
9.3G d5  
27G d6

on node02:

$ sudo du -sh \*  
3.9G d1  
299M d2  
584M d3  
5.8G d4  
11G d5  
24G d6

our version is _0.20.3_

how do I rebalance the disk usage safely on a production ?

btw I built another stronger nodes and preparing to move the  
indexes/indices to new machines

cheers!
