Shards
The Shards feature manages disk sharding for the document datastore. Sharding allows the repository binary files to be distributed across multiple storage locations.
Shards are shown in a table structure:
Id Name Storage Current Paths Size Actions
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique id of the shard. |
| Name | The name of the shard. |
| Storage | Backend where the shard content is stored: (default) follows the “repository.{folder}.type” properties (see Change repository home); Filesystem or S3 overrides them for this shard only. Changing it doesn’t move the content already stored: use Shard Backend Migration. |
| Current | Boolean indicating whether this shard is currently active (used for new uploads). |
| Paths | Paths to the datastores associated with this shard. An S3 shard has no filesystem path. |
| Size | Total size of content stored in the shard. Not available for S3 shards. |
| Actions | New Shard. Refresh. Refresh size. Edit a shard. |
