Thank you But the algorithms used during backfilling and during rebalancing (to decide where data have to be placed) are different ?
I.e. assuming that no new data are written and no data are deleted, if you rely on the standard way (i.e. backfilling), when the data movement process finishes (and therefore the status is HEALTH_OK), can the automatic balancer (in upmap mode) decide that some data have to be re-moved ?
