Description

When I read the [definition](https://docs.citusdata.com/en/v6.2/reference/user_defined_functions.html#create-distributed-table) of create_distributed_table from our documentation, this part

> If the table is hash-distributed, the function also creates worker shards based on the shard count and shard replication factor configuration values. If the table contains any rows, they are automatically distributed to worker nodes.

I thought that I can also use the method to re-distribute a table according to the new shard count and shard replication factor configuration variables. However, it is not supported (yet).
