Hi, I have a 10 node cluster with one index and 4 replications. my cluster is unbalanced and one share is unassigned. how can i assign the unassigned shard (is there a tool or api) and also how can i balance the cluster. Thanks Lep ---

Shards are assigned automatically. Are you sure that all the nodes are connected to form a 10 node cluster? Use cluster state on each one to verify that they have the same master node id, and same number of nodes.

Hi, I have made the check have the same master node in all nodes using http://[server]:9200/\_cluster/state?pretty=true and same number of nodes. and another additional detail we have 10 nodes of data and a number of client nodes. if there are more operation that i can make please advice.

Is there anything in the logs as to why that shard is unassigned? Can you gist the cluster state (from one of the nodes).

Yea, it seems like one shard partition is not assigned. Do you see anything in the logs (specifically, the master log)? Can you share a bit the history of this cluster? Is this a fresh cluster that you just created the index and a shard is not assigned? Which version are you using?
