Someone mentioned to me (offline) about project Honeycomb.  Having dug just
a tad deeper, it seems that there are similar features (to what I was
alluding to) in that project.  It looks like much of what I was thinking was
much smaller in scope than what projects like DTrace and honeycomb are
trying to solve -- "cloud storage" if you will.  And that kind of storage
would ostensibly have the indexing need to help locate content or objects in
the cloud across disperse storage systems.   My thinking was more along the
lines of extensible flexibility of indexing for more localized storage atop
ZFS.

Moving along.
