"if a database has a 1 terabyte data set, and there are 4 shards, then each shard might hold only 256GB of data" Two problems: The first is a minor matter of typography. Measurements should be expressed with a space between the number and the unit (with a exceptions such as the degree symbol), thus "256 GB". The other is more serious. Clearly, you are using GB in its powers-of-two sense, which is unfortunate. It would be preferable to use the ISO/IEC IEC 80000-13:2008 prefixes, like this: "if a database has a 1 tebibyte data set, and there are 4 shards, then each shard might hold only 256 GiB of data" |

Hello DUThibault, Thanks for your report. You raise a good point concerning binary prefixes, so I have opened In the interest of consistency with the rest of the documentation, I won't be fixing the prefixes in this ticket and will defer that work to |
