Getting that to work cleanly could be difficult The problem is that once a transaction is accepted by one partition, it can be very difficult to unwind. That means that if part of a multi is on one partition and another part is on another partition, you can't really do a 2-phase commit sort of thing since you can't roll back the part that worked when you find out about the part that didn't.
