Hello. I work with the 1.4.4 version. I saw not shared the shards between nodes. In the old version did not.

I saw this happening when you are running out of disk space. More than 80% used. I often change (for tests only) this setting in elasticsearch.yml: cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low: 1gb cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high: 500mb HTH -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet [https://twitter.com/dadoonet](https://twitter.com/dadoonet) | @elasticsearchfr [https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr](https://twitter.com/elasticsearchfr) | @scrutmydocs [https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs](https://twitter.com/scrutmydocs) > Le 24 févr. 2015 à 15:28, Terra Sacer [terrasacer@gmail.com](mailto:terrasacer@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Hello. > > I work with the 1.4.4 version.
