Migrating an index configuration from a single instance to an indexer cluster

$

I have a custom index defined in `apps/search/local/indexes.conf` that receives data pretty much continuously. In migrating from a single instance deployment to a clustered indexer with seperate shc. To move from single to distributed, I am looking to deploy new indexer nodes, master node and sh nodes, and then join the existing single instance to the indexer cluster. As part of this, I am looking to manage the index configuration across the indexer cluster by the master, by adding it to `etc/master-apps/_cluster/local/indexes.conf` If the master is deployed with indexes.conf in the _cluster directory, as new indexers are added to the cluster, they will have the index definition. But when I add the current standalone instance to the cluster, will that cause any issues, having the index defined in 2 places? I will also be adding `repFactor=auto` to the index definition. What is the best way to migrate an index definition from standalone to clustered without disruption?
