Increasing the number of shards for commons wiki is starting to be an issue. We need a better strategy.

Change 628980 abandoned by Ryan Kemper:
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] cirrussearch: increase up commonswiki_file shards

Reason:
we ended up just bumping the limit, so there is no need to re-shard this index anymore

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/628980

Housekeeping note: see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265908 for the patch that changes the alert thresholds, which should clear the alerts that led to this ticket originally being created.

Shard limit temporarily increased: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/650021

Will re-index after the new year

Thanks, your assumption is correct!

We could probably cancel this? In T271493 we are fixing the data size issues which will remove the need to re-shard.
