Hi Elasticsearch team, Environment - Elasticsearch OSS 6.7.2 - 3 Master Nodes - 3 Ingest Nodes - 9 Hot-data nodes - 6 Warm-data nodes My cluster is running but the state is always yellow. There are unassigned shards and they are not to be initialized. I noticed that **translog** always initialized. ``` { "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch-preprod", "status" : "yellow", "timed_out" : false, "number_of_nodes" : 21, "number_of_data_nodes" : 15, "active_primary_shards" : 786, "active_shards" : 1559, "relocating_shards" : 0, "initializing_shards" : 6, "unassigned_shards" : 14, "delayed_unassigned_shards" : 0, "number_of_pending_tasks" : 0, "number_of_in_flight_fetch" : 0, "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis" : 0, "active_shards_percent_as_number" : 98.7333755541482 } ``` Every line is displayed in 10 seconds. The columns are index, time, type, source node, target node, files percent and translog\_ops\_percent (\_cat/recovery). ``` a200035-syslog-2019.25 30.5s translog 10.49.112.16-hdata-node-0
