Kevin, Shawn,
- From a _total_ client connectivity standpoint, NDB is probably a
dead-end, as it's based on message-passing. What we want is to support
both HA _and_ distribution/partitioning from a clients' perspective.
Federated and partitioning on the server side are a useful tool, and
would work for some situations, but other users are going to want/need
partitioning and load distribution at the _application_ level, which I
think is the problem Kevin's talking about.
