on running this command "[http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:9200/\_cluster/allocation/explain](http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:9200/_cluster/allocation/explain)" I am getting this.  
the shard cannot be allocated to the same node on which a copy of the shard already exists  
can you please explain me the reason for this particular message and also my ES status is getting red and I am unable to fetch data from there.
