OK...I understood numShards=1, when you say replicationFactor=2 what does it mean ? I have 4 machines, then, only 3 copies of data (1 at leader and 2 replicas) ?? so am i not under utilizing one machine ?
I was more thinking in the lines of a Mesh connectivity format i.e. everybody has others copy so that I can put all 4 machines behind a Load Balancer...Is that a wrong way to look at it ?
