1. I am mannually do shard move, so I'd like to see this info through recovery api, but there are many other recovery infos. So I'd like to know if there is API to see the status of currently recovery info.
2. there are so many old recovery infos, which cause cluster a load buddern, I'd like to know if there is way to delete
