I have a 6 indexer cluster (rep factor 3), all 6 indexers are about to fill up on disk space. I added 6 more peers to the cluster, so now there are 12 total indexers.
I disabled forwarding data to the old 6 indexers, only the new 6 indexers will receiving incoming data. But the old 6 will continue to received replicated buckets and are continuing to fill up.
From what I understand, when the disk space on an indexer falls below the quota, default 5GB, the indexers will stop indexing data, and become unsearchable. The unsearchable part is what bothers me. I would much prefer the indexer to remain searchable, but stop indexing. That would make the most sense. But there doesn't seem to be a way to configure that.
So aside, from adding more disk capacity to the old 6 indexers, what can be done to keep indexers from becoming unsearchable?
