It’s really up to you. It makes sense if you have multiple separate units of work to have multiple vnodes. RiakKV (the database) has vnodes for reading/writing data, and other vnodes (riak_pipe vnodes) for map/reduce, for example. If you look at Ryan Zezeski’s seminal and still relevant TryTryTry blog series, you’ll see it has different vnodes for different tasks (https://github.com/rzezeski/try-try-try.)
