How to dynamically shrink hot/warm index size?

Hello,

Presently my hot/warm index occupies 50GB on disk (there are no limits specified in indexes.conf). I'd like to move it to a faster volume of 10GB size. What would be the correct steps to achieve this? For example:

- specify  maxDataSizeMB = 10000
- restart splunk (will it shrink the hot index and move the rest of it to the cold path)?
- add new volume, manually move hot index files to new location

Thanks
Andrei
