On a side note, can someone please comment on this part
> for example if you add additional nodes it is not easy to redistribute data.
This is precisely one of the issues I predict we'll face with our cluster as we're ramping up OTEL data and it's being sent to a small cluster, and I'm deathly afraid that it will continue sending to the every shard in equal measure without moving around existing data. I can not find any good method of redistributing the load other than "use the third party backup program and pray it doesn't shit the bed".
