Sanne,
Prabhat and I had a chat the other day and agreed that Infinispan would
be much easier to apply to a large variety of use cases if we could
iterate over ordered keys given a starting point. Cassandra does this by
partitioning (grouping in Infinispan speak) consecutive keys on the same
node for performance reasons. I guess you could use the Query module and
distributed keys for this, but I think it is a bit overkill.

I have not used Infinispan's Query or Map/Reduce functionalities
yet
because of them not being in JDG yet. Yes, we can use those to get what
I have mentioned. Query should be more straight forward and simpler than
M/R I think. But Query has dependency on Lucene and I have experienced
great pain in the past when using Lucene and FileSystem for shared storage.
My perspective is a bit different. I am arguing for a "simpler" solution
for a problem that I find to be very common. Similar to how in
Cassandra, you can easily query based on a time range and the order you
want.
