157-
In 2.2, MongoDB adds additional support for geographically distributed
158-
database systems. This "tag aware" sharding combines with work done
159-
with :ref:`read preferences <replica-set-read-preference>` and
160-
:ref:`tag sets <replica-set-configuration-tag-sets>` to make it
161-
possible to ensure that data in a geographically distributed sharded
162-
cluster is always closest to the application servers that will use
163-
that data the most.

In 2.2, MongoDB adds additional support for geographic distribution or
159+
other custom partitioning in shard clusters. By using this "tag
160+
aware" sharding, you can automatically ensure that data in a
161+
sharded database system is always closest to the application servers
162+
that use that data most frequently.
163+
164+
Shard tagging controls data location, and is complementary but
165+
separate from replica set tagging which controls data access. For
166+
example, shard tagging can pin all "USA" data to one or more logical
167+
shards, while replica set tagging can control which :program:`mongod`
168+
instances (e.g. "``production``" or "``reporting``") the application
169+
uses to service requests.
