What is difference between sharding and replication?
What is the difference between replication and sharding? Replication: The primary server node copies data onto secondary server nodes. This means that rather than copying data holistically, sharding copies pieces of the data (or “shards”) across multiple replica sets.
How do you increase primary shards in Elasticsearch?
If you want to change the number of primary shards you either need to manually create a new index and reindex all your data (along with using aliases and read-only indices) or you can use helper APIs to achieve this faster: POST /{source-index}/_shrink/{target-index-name} to lower the number.
How to convert a replica set to a shard?
The use of logical DNS hostnames avoids configuration changes due to ip address changes. On mongodb6.example.net, start the mongos specifying the config server replica set name followed by a slash / and at least one of the config server hostnames and ports. The following procedure adds the initial replica set rs0 as a shard.
How to add a shard to a MongoDB cluster?

When to add shards to a sharded cluster?
