in a case where there are multiple ways to retrieve this logical data set,
how to represent this in the response?

for example, assume there is a data set that has
part 1 in endpoint 1 and part 2 in endpoint 2 with tcp as transport
both part 1 and part 2 in endpoint 3, with infiniband as transport

now how we return this back to client so client decide which one to consume?

the mental model i have with FightService is similar to travel with flight.

- a travel agency lists many travel choices.
- for a trip from NYC to SFO, there are different itinerary, like NYC->SFO
directly. NYC->Chicago -> SFO, and so on.
- for each itinerary, there could be one or more logical parts (hop)
- for each hop, there are different ways, like business class, economic
class, etc
- they all need a ticket to finish the trip.

is this right, or way off?

Thanks
Ming
