It seems to me like consistent hashing could happily live with the
concept of a shard.
All docids that belong to a single physical node form a shard.
All replicas of a shard could be the same.
I've not thought through all the implications though... I'm still
reading the Dynamo paper myself (and after that will be looking into
zookeeper I suppose).
