.. note::

Range deletion is a resource intensive operation that can
result in significant cache and I/O stress as the cluster
deletes the documents.

In cases where you plan to move a large amount of data, such
as when adding shards to a cluster or during the initial
distribution of a sharded collection across multiple shards,
consider resharding the collection instead. Resharding
operations don't require range cleanup, which makes them
much less stressful on the cluster.

For more information, see :ref:`sharding-resharding`.
