Raghu's questions

Eu tenho uma coleção de fragmentos em que a chave de fragmento é um campo chamado "uuid". O valor deste campo é do tipo string e representa valores hexadecimais, ou seja, uma string hexadecimal. Para cada documento este campo "uuid" é único.

Os dados são divididos em pedaços automaticamente pelo MongoDB. Não consigo descobrir como o MongoDB está dividindo essa string hexadecimal em intervalos contíguos. Não há documentos que expliquem como o Mongo forma essas faixas

Você pode me ajudar a entender como esses intervalos são formados?

Para uma amostra, inseri 3025357 documentos com os referidos valores hexadecimais. Os pedaços e os intervalos associados a eles são,
