Hi Ayende, You're right that the cross-shard object graph isn't supported in Hibernate. There's nothing to suggest that the concept is inherently bad, it simply appears that it's just not been implemented yet.
I'm gonna try to see what work is required to get this functionality working and if I get something sorted I'll let you all know and submit a patch.
