DistributedShardFactory (controller-docs 2.0.6 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DistributedShardedDOMDataTree, OSGiDistributedShardedDOMDataTree
```
@Beta
public interface DistributedShardFactory
```
A factory that handles addition of new clustered shard's based on a prefix. This factory is a QoL class that handles all the boilerplate that comes with registration of a new clustered shard into the system and creating the backend shard/replicas that come along with it.

  - createDistributedShard
```
CompletionStage<DistributedShardRegistration> createDistributedShard(DOMDataTreeIdentifier prefix,
                                                                     Collection<MemberName> replicaMembers)
                                                              throws DOMDataTreeShardingConflictException
```
    Register a new shard that is rooted at the desired prefix with replicas on the provided members. Note to register a shard without replicas you still need to provide at least one Member for the shard.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefix - Shard root
    
    replicaMembers - Members that this shard is replicated on, has to have at least one Member even if the shard should not be replicated.
    
    Returns:
    
    A future that will be completed with a DistributedShardRegistration once the backend and frontend shards are spawned.
    
    Throws:
    
    DOMDataTreeShardingConflictException - If the initial check for a conflict on the local node fails, the sharding configuration won't be updated if this exception is thrown.
