Hi,

I re-indexed my index to do a data clean up (fixed mapping issues and new data for empty fields) My original index was in green state, after re-indexing the new index is showing yellow health state. What is the cause for this? Is it the normal behavior.

I am using an elastic cloud elastic cluster. Version 7.01

How many nodes has your cluster? Could you run the following commands

```auto
GET _cat/shards/<old_index>
GET _cat/shards/<new_index>

```

Where \<old\_index\> and \<new\_index\> are the names of your indices.

Hi Ignacio,

The issue was now fixed, the reason was elastic node disk space was filled up to 90% ,after clearing the re-indexed health status came back to green. Thank you.
