Elasticsearch Index Split

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello Team

I am using Elasticsearch version 7.8.0

I used API "SPLIT" to break my big index into multiple shards.

After split was concluded successfully....

I found that my new SPLITTED Index [ myindex-000797-sp ] is double the size of Source Index ...

health status index               uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
green  open   myindex-000797    aHevVd8iSZyy4Wmfg1Q4rw   5   1   1057316946            0      1.5tb        798.9gb
green  open   myindex-000797-sp FUU40j43SiKNkDk1Bprbcg  10   1   1057316946    829935320      3.1tb          1.6tb

Could you please help me to understand why is so ... and how should i reduce the SIZE of new SPLITTED Index.

Thanks

Try running a force merge on the new index, you need to purge the deleted documents.

Also, 7.8 is nearly EOL, please consider upgrading :slight_smile:

Hello @warkolm

Thank You for your suggestion .. It was helped me ..

health status index                        uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
green  open   myindex-000797-sp            FUU40j43SiKNkDk1Bprbcg  10   1 1057316946            0      1.4tb        533.5gb

By this we can conclude that , after splitting the index , we must run force merge to release the unwanted occupied space.

Regarding Upgrading Elasticsearch from version 7.8.0 to new one will take some time ... as many other API's are related to this cluster.
We will do it .. but not very soon..

Thank You for your response.

Now my second question is :

If you see REPLICA sizes ...

myindex-000797-sp 0     r      STARTED 104620557  52.8gb 10.10.10.248 ESN-5

Its still has some of them as 3x times of PRIMARY shard.

How to fix this ?
