Hi I've a Elasticsearch cluster with 5 nodes. I've this used storage repartition: Node1: 76% Node2: 94% Node3: 88% Node4: 73% Node5: 74% How to do to "leveling" the used storage ? For the node 2 et 3, We arrived to the watermark threshold. In my other cluster, the used is equal / leveling size. Exemple on an other cluster: Node1: 61% Node2: 63% Node3: 60% Node4: 63% Node5: 62% Thanks ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Elasticsearch balances the number of shards it has across nodes. If some shards are different size then you can end up with use like this. What does `_cat/allocation?v` show? ---
