Number of shards and Data Node

[shaiktas]

Hello Team, Milvus sizing tool recommending only 1 Data Node (8 Core 32 Gb) to process 400Million Vectors with 1024 Dimensions. Creating this discussion to bring most suitable configs to process 11 Million Data and 1 Vector field with 1024 Dim.
What should be the Shard count of collection and Data node count of (8Core 32 Gb) to process 11 Million Data and 1 Vector field with 1024 Dim. Assume if Number of vector fields growing from 1 to 2,3,4 up to 10?

I would recommend to have 2 shards for this collection and 2 * 8core 32GB datanodes, that's for 1-2 vector fields.

If you do have many vector fields, I would recommend you to increase the shard numbers to 4 and datanodes also to 4 if possible.
