Hmmmm, I suppose you mean lie? As long as we document it correctly, I 
think we should be fine. We could even show an info message when DIST is 
in use to further remain them that the view they get only contains the 
local data.

I don't think it breaks the API. It has limitations but I don't a break. 
It's a bit like size() with ConcurrentHashMap. It does not give you an 
accurate number. The same with keySet()/entrySet() and DIST mode, it 
does not give an accurate view because of the pitfalls mentioned.
