Do we need to shard NoSQL Databases

Do we shard NoSQL databases as well?

My understanding is that we do not need to since Modern NoSQL DBs like HBase/Redis/Cassandra are already sharded and are horizontally scalable so no sharding is needed. Can anyone confirm?

it has sharding configuration provided… so definitely some configuration is needed but yeah but the effort will be less. for example mongo db and cassandra has that. If you use MYSql like DB you need to have the sharding separatly.
