DESCRIPTION: Change default rebalance strategy to by_disk_size When introducing rebalancing by disk size we didn't make it the default initially. The main reason was, because we expected some problems with it. We have indeed had some problems/bugs with it over the years, and have fixed all of them. By now we're quite confident in its stability, and that it pretty much always gives better results than by_shard_count. So this PR makes by_disk_size the new default. We don't change the default when some other strategy than by_shard_count is the current default. This is in case someone defined their own rebalance strategy and marked this as the default themselves. Note: It explicitly does nothing during a downgrade, because there's no way of knowing if the rebalance strategy before the upgrade was by_disk_size or by_shard_count. And even in previous versions by_disk_size is considered superior for quite some time. |
