Shrink on multi path is not working

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am try to reduce the number of shards on my cluster.
But there have multi data.path in my elasticsearch.yml file.
I saw this post Curator fails to shrink index
I know it is hard to do it.

But when I manually run the shrink API , it works.
Here is the step:

PUT /test1/_settings
{
  "settings": {
    "index.routing.allocation.require._name": "ServerA", 
    "index.blocks.write": true 
  }
}

POST test1/_shrink/test1_shrink
{
  "settings": {
    "index.routing.allocation.require._name": null, 
    "index.blocks.write": null 
  }
}

Is curator going to support this or is there another solution I can try on ?

This is an issue I'm aware of. It will be added at some point, but it's not in there right now. Feel free to dig in and add a pull request that removes the code that prevents multi-path.
