    It's fine to collect it per region. I'm talking about the *usage* of these 
guideposts. Instead of driving this per region in this loop, we can just get 
back *all* guideposts for a table here and return them. No need to break this 
down per region. Thus, I don't think PTable needs to keep a map. All it needs 
is all the guideposts for a table. I don't think the logic to get them to 
"round-robin" per region server is worth preserving. We can just randomly 
shuffle the guideposts and we'll get the same effect. This routine will become 
very simple.
