Ensure routing_rules setting is the same across all nodes

What does this MR do?

Explicitly state that routing rules setting should be the same across all Rails and Sidekiq nodes, in the elasticsearch tuning doc. If Rails aren't using the same routing rules, Rails still route jobs to individual queues based on worker name (assuming empty routing rules), i.e. elastic_commit_indexer, authorized_projects, etc (there are 600 of these queues), but some Sidekiq nodes only listen to default,mailers queues and the other nodes only listen to global_search (which is a made-up hardcoded name).

This came up from a customer issue where jobs are piling up in the queue after changing routing rules and running the Rake task to migrate jobs.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
