Not recently - personally I've been sidetracked by other stuff. Mapping docs to shards is the easy part... take a hash of the id, and then I imagine the shard id (the label for the index) can just be a range of hashes (i.e. 0x00000000-0xffffffff would be the entire collection). The harder part in all this is actually handling updates. For high availability, updates need to go to multiple hosts (the replication factor). But some hosts may be down, and updates may go to any shard replica. The shards/nodes need to be able to exchange info and fix things up. > I would be glad to join them, if I find some interesting papers about that > topic. Awesome!
