Elasticseach multi data path,every shard only stored into one data path

when i use Elasticsearch to store my data,i have a Confuse,every Elasticsearch process I have config multi data path,but I find every shard of indices is only stored one data path,I want to know if one shard can be stored in multiple data directories, is it appropriate?
?

No it cannot do that.

Please also note that this approach is deprecated and will be removed in 8.0 - Important Elasticsearch configuration | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic

ok,thanks,but i want to kown the reason why the multi data path setting will be removed

Take a look at Deprecate and remove Multiple Data Paths · Issue #71205 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub

thanks,I see

Note that it has been reintroduced in 8.0 to leave the existing users enough time to migrate. :wink:
