[SERVER] Document change of balancing policy in public release notes

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      Since the balancer's policy drastically changes in v6.1.0, it must be documented in the public release notes.

      Notable changes:

      • The assumption that all chunks contain the same amount of data is not true anymore
      • The balancer is evenly distributes data rather than chunks (related to DOCS-15340): a user-visible consequence is that manually creating chunks does not necessarily mean the balancer will move them around
      • The auto-splitter does not exist anymore: chunks are created by the balancer only when it is needed to move data (related to DOCS-15397)

      This is just a placeholder to remember that the changes need to be documented, I guess garaudy.etienne@mongodb.com can help the DOCS team setup a proper announcement.
