Resolve elasticsearch shard size alert by doing an in place reindex
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Indices like enwiki, commonswiki, wikidatawiki have shards going over 80gb. Moving this shards around is difficult resulting in high disk usage of some of the cluster nodes. An in place reindex is needed to be done to increase the shard count of the indices.
