------------------------------------
> Load balancing doesn't help if you are indexing something with less potential
> values than you have nodes in the cluster
Again, this brings up the topic of skinny rows: I'm sticking with the idea that
we would want skinny rows with a compound key, so that each row key in the
index/view might start with "true" in the boolean case, but the actual view row
key would be a compound: "true|<base-key>". So, yes, even in the boolean case
it is possible to partition the index: you would have very hot spots around
"true|*" and "false|*", but that wouldn't stop our load balancing from
splitting based on the remainder of the key.

I know, but it is a temporary solution that allows us to fine tune the
interface without providing scripting support or anything else crazy.
