Shard allocation after upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.2.2

I have daily rotating indexes and everything usually balances out nicely. 8
shards plus 1 replica over 4 nodes goes nicely 4/4/4/4. All nodes are
identical with the same ES settings.

Now I checked the kopf plugin this morning to just check the status and I
noticed that after the 1.2.2 upgrade the allocation for today's index is
now 2/6/6/2 which is kinda weird. I know I could use the cluster api to
move shards around but that's not fun to do every day and ES should know
better.

Anybody seeing something similar?

There is a total shards per node feature that will allow you to force 4 per node and it can be set on live indexes. Not sure how you are creating your indexes but you can add that to the index during creation.

That sounds like an idea :slight_smile:

My indexes get created dynamically around midnight, I'll check one more day
and if it still looks this unbalanced, I'll put the settings in my template
and see what happens.

Thanks :slight_smile:
