Alot of times when node disconnect and reconnect, I left with 1 or 2 unassigned shards. When I use \_cluster/allocation/explain, I get reason: "NODE\_LEFT" and last\_allocation\_status: "no\_attempt".
When doing GET \_internal/desired\_balance I get unassigned\_shards: "0".
The problem only solve if i do DELETE \_internal/desired\_balance or retart the current master....
please help
