Investigate changes in SERVER-76405: Reduce the initial minimum number of chunks to 1 per shard for empty collections with hashed shard key

    • 2

      Original Downstream Change Summary

      Reduced the initial minimum number of chunks to 1 per shard for empty collections with hashed shard key

      Description of Linked Ticket

      Following the removal of the auto-splitter in versions >= v6.0.3, balancing does not happen anymore on number of chunks but on actual data size and the balancer is issuing moveRange commands (DOCS-15363) to atomically split+move subparts of a chunk.

      Purpose of this ticket is to change the default behavior for creating/distributing chunks when sharding an empty collection with hashed shard key: one chunk per shard, in line with the decision taken also for resharding (SERVER-68050).
