I want to create a new index with bigger amount of shards and copy my data across. _reindex would probably be the best solution, but I expected split to do what I wanted. So I have 38gb 1shard index and I wanted to split it into 4 shards index. I expected new index to have same amount of store.size…

Does _split actually splits data or just copies it across shards
