Hi , We have 4 machines and 4 shard. We want one shard to run in a machine at a time. But then head is telling me that Shard 1 and Shard 3 are present in a node and another node is sitting idle with just a replica of shard 1. So i was trying to rebalance this using the reroute API. But i couldnt get it to work. Kindly see what i went wrong. Also please find the head UI snapshot attached. curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/\_cluster/reroute' -d '{ "commands" : [ { "move" : { "index" : "algotree", "shard" : 3, "to\_node" : "WKM8HDp-Rt23nc9LUVn1SQ", "from\_node" : "owihkXRiQsao94suzna1WQ" } } ] }' {"error":" RemoteTransportException[[Bedlam II][inet[/192.168.1.246:9300]][cluster/reroute]]; nested: ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[[move\_allocation] can't move [algotree][3], from [Jubilee][WKM8HDp-Rt23nc9LUVn1SQ][inet[/192.168.1.243:9300]], to [Mantis][owihkXRiQsao94suzna1WQ][inet[/192.168.1.247:9300]], since its not allowed, reason: [YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][NO()]]; ","status":400} Thanks Vineeth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Vineeth, If you have 4 nodes and 4 shards and you want each node to run 1 shard, you should simply turn off replicas and set index.routing.allocation.total\_shards\_per\_node to 1 like this: curl -XPUT localhost:9200/algotree/\_settings -d '{"index.routing.allocation.total\_shards\_per\_node": 1, "index.number\_of\_replicas": 0}' No need to mess with reroute API. If you want to have 1 replica with 4 shards and 4 nodes you need to allow 2 shards to run per node like this: curl -XPUT localhost:9200/algotree/\_settings -d '{"index.routing.allocation.total\_shards\_per\_node": 2, "index.number\_of\_replicas": 1}' By the way, I think in your example of reroute API request to\_node and from\_node are switched.
