Gary Dusbabek commented on CASSANDRA-1684:
------------------------------------------

Would they be static like App Engine, or would we permit dynamically 
adding/subtracting existing rows to an entity group, in effect, moving them?  

the G-Store paper explains one approach to this:

> Supporting entity groups similar to App Engine's (that is, allow rows to be 
> part of a parent "entity group," whose key is used for routing instead of the 
> row itself) allows several improvements:
>  - batches within an EG can be atomic across multiple rows
>  - order-by-value queries within an EG only have to touch a single replica 
> even with RandomPartitioner
