Describe the bug

We have encountered this bug multiple times, also before 2.16.0.

When cluster nodes are already above the low watermark causing new indices being distributed to other nodes, it can happen that the cluster goes to yellow. The cause seems to be that the default policy on system indices is: auto_expand_replicas: "1-all". It tries to allocate replicas to nodes that are not able to accept more data because of the watermark situation.

This seems to happen when kubernetes is reallocating opensearch nodes to different k8s compute nodes.

Cluster state:

{
  "cluster_name": "xxxxx",
  "status": "yellow",
  "timed_out": false,
  "number_of_nodes": 17,
  "number_of_data_nodes": 12,
  "discovered_master": true,
  "discovered_cluster_manager": true,

  "task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis": 0,
  "active_shards_percent_as_number": 99.90454979319122
}

It tries to allocate the replicas:

So if we have 12 nodes, it tries to allocate 11 replicas on the restart of the node. But that seems to fail because several nodes are above the low watermark (why not distribute the free space more evenly?). The only solutions seems to be to lower the auto expand setting or to manually redistribute shards across the nodes to even out the disk space usage.

Storage

To Reproduce

Cluster is nearing capacity ( good from a storage cost perspective )
Cluster gets rebooted or individual nodes get rebooted
Cluster goes to yellow state

Expected behavior

Rebalance shards proactively based on storage usage of nodes
System indices might take priority ignoring the low/high watermark untill cluster disk usage really becomes critical
