I have 2 nodes with default configuration.  
At node A the translog is always exceeding the free space on server instance and it's definitely more than default value of 512Mb (according to [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-translog.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-translog.html)). So due to default configuration, the translog must be flushed and commited every 5 seconds.. But it isn't happens. And only on first node. Why?
