REPL "show rows" command does not list all documents/columns about bitfunnel HOT 3 CLOSED

Evidently, this is intentional (if cryptic) behavior.

"show rows" accepts two parameters: a term and shard number. Shard number is optional and assumed to be 0, if not specified. Thus, "show rows anarchy" only shows the documents placed in shard 0. "show rows anarchy 1" shows the documents placed in shard 1.

Presumably, the "Sample Data" blog's screens were captured back when all documents were placed in the same shard. Now that sharding is in play, the results are different.

• Should we change the "show rows" logic so that if no shard is explicitly specified, it shows documents from all shards?
• Should we add outputted help text which mentions the existence of the optional shard parameter on "show rows"?

Let's discuss this one on the call. It is complicated because the command can only show a small number of columns at a time. We need to decide which scenario we're targeting for show rows. Originally it was added for debugging purposes where examining the first few documents in the first shard was sufficient.

An option to consider is to add another command called shard x which would set the default shard to use for queries and show rows. Perhaps shard with no parameters would clear the default shard so that all shards are used.
