      Even though the sharding section for GridFS mentions that the field_id is monotonically increasing and that it is not possible use a hashed shard key in this case, it does not provide a solution for sharding GridFS without creating a hotspot for new files. One option to solve this problem that we could mention here is that it is possible to use a custom file_id, which could for instance be a random string, like a UUID. This would allow new files to be distributed evenly across all shards.
