Gluster users - Apr 2017 - GlusterFS Shard Feature: Max number of files in .shard-Folder

Dear Gluster-Community,

If I use the shard feature it may happen that I will have a huge number of
shard-chunks in the hidden folder .shard
Does anybody has some experience what is the maximum number of files in one
.shard-Folder?

If I have 1 Million files in such a folder, some operations like self-healing or
another internal operations would need
a lot of time, I guess.

Sincerely

Sorry for the delay. The only internal process that we know would take more
time is self-heal and we implemented a feature called granular entry
self-heal which should be enabled with sharded volumes to get the benefits.
So when a brick goes down and say only 1 in those million entries is
created/deleted. Self-heal would be done for only that file it won't crawl
the entire directory.
