The class KeyQueryMetadata contains the information for a key being requested via query. So, the partition number we are returning here is the partition to which the key belongs, it has no relation to any store yet. You will of course use this partition information to fetch the data corresponding to the key from any store but still that doesn't change the fact that this partition number is related to the key rather than the store. I am fine either way though. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
