The routed comm system relies on each daemon having complete information as to where every process is located, so the expectation was that only full maps would ever be sent. Thus, the nidmap code is setup to always send a full map.
I don't know how to even generate a "partial" map. I assume you are doing something offline? Is this to update changed info? If so, you'll also have to do something to update the daemon's maps or the comm system will break down.
