Ok cool, I look forward to reading it :) One thing, when you say route requests to specific instances .. does that imply that node relationships can't span instances ?
e.g. say if node 1 and was connected (at depth 1 or deeper) to a node that was stored in another instance would the neo4j path/traversal api work across the split ?
