Description

Requested in https://discuss.lightbend.com/t/different-number-of-shards-per-entity-type/5595

One thing to be aware of is that the compatibility check that is performed when nodes are joining the cluster will not verify such changed property. The setting must be the same on all nodes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a new method `withNumberOfShards` to `ClusterShardingSettings` that allows users to specify the number of shards per entity type. Ensure the compatibility check is updated if needed.
