Does Vibe.d support shard_key of MongoDB collection?

One of the most important feature of MongoDB is Sharding, which makes MongoDB works as cluster and provides larger throughput.

However, I couldn't find any API of vibe.d's MongoDB driver that set shard keys.
http://vibed.org/api/vibe.db.mongo.collection/MongoCollection.ensureIndex

Does any one knows where to specify shard keys?

For reference, Python's MongoEngine provide sharding key specifying API via meta member field of documentation class.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It's currently not supported, because I never got as far with MongoDB to use sharding. AFAIR it requires additional support on the client side to distribute queries among the shards, so this is unfortunately more than a quick addition to ensureIndex.

In any case, you should open an issue on the bug tracker, so that this doesn't get lost.
