Webinar: MongoDB 2.4 Feature Demo and Q&A on Hash-based Sharding
Thursday May 2nd 11:00am PDT / 2:00pm EDT / 6:00pm UTC
(We suggest registering at least 30 minutes before the start of the webinar.)
In version 2.4, MongoDB introduces hash-based sharding, allowing the user to shard based on a randomized shard key to spread documents evenly across a cluster. Hash-based sharding is an alternative to range-based sharding, making it easier to manage your growing cluster. In this talk, we'll discuss provide an overview of this new feature and discuss the pros and cons of using a hash-based sharding vs. range-based approach.
