I'm got confuse about `cluster.routing.allocation.enable` and `cluster.routing.rebalance.enable`
(1)if I set
`cluster.routing.allocation.enable` = `none`
`cluster.routing.rebalance.enable` = `all`
still no rebalance will happen?
(2)can I think rebalance is allocation's submodule?
I have no environment to verify ,hope somebody tell me.

That's correct, rebalancing involves allocating shards so if shard allocation is disabled then no rebalancing will occur.
