Description
"MongoDB cannot move a chunk if the number of documents in the chunk exceeds either 250000 documents or 1.3 times the number of average sized documents that the maximum chunk size can hold."
It would be helpful if this could be expanded to provide a rationale for "1.3 times" and to give an example to help users understand it.
