That shouldn't be the case. All of your shards should have a lower hash value with all 0 bits and an upper hash value of all 1s (i.e. 0x????0000 to 0x????ffff) So you see any shards where that's not true? Also, is the router set to compositeId? -Yonik > My guess right now is that since I'm only using the default 16 bits my data > is being split across multiple shards (because of my high # of shards). > > Thanks, > Brett
