 This map should be used to direct commands to the node that is likely serving the slot associated with a given command.
 In the event the command is sent to the wrong node, in that it received a '-MOVED' redirect, this command can then be used to update the topology of the cluster.
 
-The command returns an array of shards, with each shard containing two fields, 'slots' and 'nodes'. 
+The command returns an array of shards, with each shard containing three fields, 'slots', 'nodes' and 'id'. 
 
 The 'slots' field is a list of slot ranges served by this shard, stored as pair of integers representing the inclusive start and end slots of the ranges.
 For example, if a node owns the slots 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9, the slots ranges would be stored as [1-3], [5-5], [7-9].

 The value `?` is displayed if the node is incorrectly configured to use announced hostnames but no hostname is configured using `cluster-announce-hostname`.
 Clients may treat the empty string in the same way as NULL, that is the same endpoint it used to send the current command to, while `"?"` should be treated as an unknown node, not necessarily the same node as the one serving the current command.
 
+The 'id' field is the unique id of the shard, which is randomly generated and 40 characters long.
