Here are the chunk ranges:
chunk min->max:
[$min, $min] -> [1, 8]
[1,8] -> [3,1]
[3,1] -> [5,2]
[5,2] -> [5,10]
[5,10] -> [7,3]
[7,3] -> [$max,$max]
These are just random splits based on my imaginary data which produces
those ranges of similar data sizes; each chunk is about 64MB.
Notice how the ranges are based on the two values combined (compound),
not each value individually? See how the second value goes up and down
through the chunks but the combination is always increasing from
min->max?
Does that make more sense now?
BTW. You can ignore the shard name and number after it, it is a
version for that chunk, like 'shard0000 { "t" : 3000, "i" : 1 }', this
is used for internal house-keeping.
