When a rebalance kicks in from using sharding, does the rebalancing process 
consider only entries of a particular type or does it consider all entry 
types in the cluster?

For example, if I were to shard different entries (different by name that 
is) like so:

ClusterSharding.get(system).start("A", StreamActor.props(config), new 
MessageExtractor());
ClusterSharding.get(system).start("B", StreamActor.props(config), new 
MessageExtractor());

Would the rebalancing take into account the entries of type "A" and "B" 
when determining when to rebalance? 

ie. 
shard 1 (A, A, B, B) 
shard 2 (A)
shard 2 (B)
// Shard 1 has 4 entries running of different types while shards 2 and 3 
only have 1 entry, thus all entries will get rebalanced.


Or does rebalancing work separately for each type of entry?

ie. 
shard 1 (A, B, B) 
shard 2 (A)
shard 2 (A)
// Shard 1 has 4 entries running of different types but each shard only has 
a single instance of entry type "A" running. Thus the rebalancing won't 
kick in for type "A" (although it might kick in for entries of type B).
