ES shard placement on different nodes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I have multi index ES cluster. I read ES tries to equally distributes the
shards on different nodes.
Question :
ES tries the equal distribution across all nodes of primary+replica shards
per index or primary shards per index and then distribute replica shards
per index?
so its it possible that all primary shards may end up on the same node?

Thanks,
Nidhi

Yes it's possible but you should not be afraid of this.
At the end, both primary and replicas will do the same "index"/"search" operation.
