Description

The note in the -numShards parameter in the Getting Started, mentions:

"Note that once you start up a cluster, you cannot change this value. So if you expect to need more shards later on, build them into your configuration now (you can do this by starting all of your shards on the same server, then migrating them to different servers later)."

But perhaps this is obsolete with shard splitting?
