Hi ,

I have 4 nodes , each in a different machine and i have 4 shards each in a
node.
Now as one of the machine is very powerful , i transferred one of the shard
from the week machine to the powerful machine , leaving the week machine
without any shard.
The shard transfer went very well but then once that is done , one of the 2
shards in the powerful machine started getting transferred to the week
machine,
Which was what i was trying to avoid in the first place.

Is this the expected behavior , if so how can i achieve what i want.
I dont want to decommission the week machine at the same time.

Thanks
VIneeth

Use shard allocation filtering:
