Each partition should have its own index file. The separate index files for each partition allow for the query to ignore synchronization and keep index information close to the data. The partition index file should not include global information. The result will be index files that are sized relative to the partition data size.
I think we could talk about adding a metadata file that holds a list of index files. Although, the current index metadata file should be stored per partition per index. (I know the structure allows for many indexing in one file, but for now keep them plan on them being separate.)
