Thanks Shawn, that fixed it ! The documentation int the Collections API says "The value can be ... *implicit*, which uses an internal default hash". I think most people would assume the "hash" would be used to route the data. Meanwhile the description of CompositID in the "Document Routing" section only discusses how modify your document IDs, which I did not want to do.
