Reset the IndexShardRoutingTable?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Heya everybody,

Last night I had an index with many documents and without replicas that had
disk failure resulting in 2 lost shards... This is bad, but we are
currently in the process of reindexing and I just want my cluster to be
back in green in the meantime. I read in another issue, that a dummy method
is to create a similar index locally and move the shard to be recovered.
However, I ran an reroute allocate command with "allow_primary": 1 for
those shards, so when I try to recover with the dummy method this is the
outcome I get; https://gist.github.com/jgagnon1/a4ebc27b17e8451af59e

So my question, is there a way to reset the IndexShardRoutingTable (other
than restarting the whole cluster) to remove the allow_primary setting into
those shards ?

Many thanks

Jerome

This was the issue I talked about, is it still doable ?
