does each shard spend on the query"?
Adding more shards will likely decrease
the time each shard takes to process the
first-pass query. But if your base is
50ms, and sharding some more takes it to
40ms I don't think
It's quite common to hear about the benefit of sharding.
Until we reach the I/O bound on our machines, sharding is likely to reduce
the query time.
Furthermore working on smaller indexes will make the single searches faster
on the smaller nodes.
But what about the other way around ?
What if we actu
