If you're updating a document, this write will go to its shard. If you're
inserting a new document, it will go to a shard where its chunk lives. If
you want random distribution of new documents, use random shard key, like
md5 of something.
But there are some serious drawbacks in this approach. For example, a
simple retrieval by _id will go to all shard (unless you specify shard key,
which you will have to calculate again).
