Description
Our write scaling documentation currently states:
Typically, a computed shard key that has some amount of “randomness,” such as ones that include a cryptographic hash (i.e. MD5 or SHA1) of other content in the document, will allow the cluster to scale write operations. However, random shard keys do not typically provide query isolation, which is another important characteristic of shard keys.
This should be updated to refer to our hashed sharding docs. Note that I came to this page from the high randomness section of the "Select a Shard Key" page.
