Index Shard Allocation
editIndex Shard Allocation
editThis module provides per-index settings to control the allocation of shards to nodes:
- Shard allocation filtering: Controlling which shards are allocated to which nodes.
- Delayed allocation: Delaying allocation of unassigned shards caused by a node leaving.
- Total shards per node: A hard limit on the number of shards from the same index per node.
