Ranged Sharding Output
Assuming we have a sharded collection named “mycollection” with ranged sharding on the “myShardKeyField” field, querying the data will produce output similar to the following:
{
"_id": ObjectId("60f9d7ac345b7c9df348a86e"),
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"myShardKeyField": "valueInRange1"
}
Ranged Sharding in MongoDB
Sharding is a critical feature in MongoDB that allows for horizontal scaling of databases by distributing data across multiple servers. Ranged sharding is a specific sharding strategy where data is partitioned based on a specified range of values. In this article, we’ll delve into the concept of ranged sharding in MongoDB, covering its principles, and implementation, and providing beginner-friendly examples with outputs to illustrate its functionality.
