splitChunk¶

Definition定义¶

splitChunk¶

An internal administrative command. To split chunks, use the sh.splitFind() and sh.splitAt() functions in the mongo shell.

Warning

Be careful when splitting data in a sharded collection to create new chunks. When you shard a collection that has existing data, MongoDB automatically creates chunks to evenly distribute the collection. To split data effectively in a sharded cluster you must consider the number of documents in a chunk and the average document size to create a uniform chunk size. When chunks have irregular sizes, shards may have an equal number of chunks but have very different data sizes. Avoid creating splits that lead to a collection with differently sized chunks.

from	string	The shard that owns the chunk to split.
splitKeys	document	The split point for the chunk.
shardId	document	The shard.
