If increasing one then the other must be equal as well, for example if upping the Hot nodes to 20 Warm should be upped to 20 as well. + +The number of shards and the nodes should be increased by a multiple of the index with the largest number of shards, further [information](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/open-distro-elasticsearch-shard-allocation/). + +## Manually migrating failed indexes + +It may be necessary to migrate indexes manually.
