Description
The documentation for Qdrant is a bit hard to follow when it comes to specifying the `shard_number` for a given collection. Initially the recommendation is to set the value to 12. Later in the documentation it recommends something more dynamic like ` * 2-3`.
We should do a little investigation to see how that actually plays out for insertion and similarity search.

Start by comparing the two shard_number recommendations in the Qdrant documentation and investigate their effects on insertion and similarity search. Done means recording how each setting behaves and using the results to clarify which guidance should be presented for a collection.
