- * Redis differs between "normal" and sharded PubSub. If using the "normal" PubSub feature, exactly one
- * ClusterSubscriber exists per cluster instance. This works because the Redis cluster bus forwards m
- * messages between shards. However, this has scalability limitations, which is the reason why the sharded
- * PubSub feature was added to Redis. With sharded PubSub, each shard is responsible for its own messages.
- * Given that, we need at least one ClusterSubscriber per master endpoint/node.
+ * Redis distinguishes between "normal" and sharded PubSub. When using the normal PubSub feature,
+ * exactly one subscriber exists per cluster instance because the Redis cluster bus forwards
+ * messages between shards. Sharded PubSub removes this limitation by making each shard
+ * responsible for its own messages.
  *
- * This class leverages the previously exising ClusterSubscriber by adding support for multiple such subscribers
- * in alignment to the master nodes of the cluster. The ClusterSubscriber class was extended in a non-breaking way
- * to support this feature.
+ * This class coordinates one ShardedSubscriber per master node in the cluster, providing
+ * sharded PubSub support while keeping the public API backward compatible.
