I disable the shard allocation with following snippet:
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none"
}
}
I double check GET _cluster/settings' and confirm it has been set with none.
But when I use the following snippet trying to move a shard between nodes. And the move succeeds,
looks the "cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none" doesn't take effect?
POST /_cluster/reroute
{
"commands": [
{
"move": {
"index": "lib38",
"shard": 0,
"from_node": "node-1",
"to_node": "node-3"
}
}
]
}

Manually rerouting a shard will always take precedence over configuration.
cluster.routing.allocation.enable is only giving a hint to the cluster that automatic reallocation should not take place.
In your other question, you were concerned about automatic rebalancing, it seems.
