Abstract
Sharding is widely used to scale an application. Despite a decade of effort to build generic sharding frameworks that can be reused across different applications, the extent of their success remains unclear. We attempt to answer a fundamental question: what barriers prevent a sharding framework from getting adopted by the majority of sharded applications?
