Upgrade 1.3 to 1.4 shard reallocation question

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I had a single node es database on 1.3 and added another node with 1.4 all
the shards replicated onto the new node but they didn't get reallocated.

Is this the default default behavior?

I am wondering what's the best way to reallocate the shards? or should I
just terminate the old node so that the new node becomes primary?

Thanks,
Suresh

It sounds like standard behaviour.

What do expect to happen?

I was expecting some of the shards to relocate to the new node but I can
understand the reason it didn't happen could be because the versions are
different.

My assumption (I am going to test this theory) is if all the nodes are on
the same version then the shards would get distributed across two nodes

PS: My deployment is like two master node with data
