If you’ve set numShards to 5, then your indexes are split evenly across all 5 shards and they should all be considered leaders in charge of updating the replicas with new information. Could it be the case that 1 of your shards has 3 replicas and is the leader for that specific shard? What specifically is indicating that one node is marked as leader for 3 shards?
