Nope. Flexibility is our middle name ;-) Starting with 4.1 you will be able to do custom sharding. If you send a document to any replica of a shard and don't indicate it's for another shard, then it will assume it's for that shard (and forward it to the leader replica for that shard if it's not the leader). -Yonik http://lucidworks.com
