Hi, The current version of the gotchas page indicates that collections larger than 256 GB cannot be sharded but there's some information in some google group threads and older versions of the documentation that seem to contradict this. For example, the older version of the sharding limits page and the code point to this being a limitation in the number of split points rather than a hard limit on the collection size. If that's the case, it would be helpful to update the gotchas page to reflect that along with the available workarounds if any. Thanks.

I ran some tests on a 291 GB collection and it looks like the limitation has been removed in 2.x.
