Discards the current <<shards-rebalancing-heuristics,desired balance>> and computes a new desired balance starting from the current allocation of shards.
This can sometimes help {es} find a desired balance which needs fewer shard movements to achieve, especially if the
cluster has experienced changes so substantial that the current desired balance is no longer optimal without {es} having
