Regarding map/reduce emulation, I was thinking more along the lines of using
a single bucket to achieve a similar effect.
So then you can pull an object (column family aka row of columns), or via mr
pull just x columns. Then to update, again use mr (instead of standard
post,post,etc) to update individual columns of the "family" (by updating via
mr, you reduce needless updating of *all* columns within the object)

So then a bucket would be a super-column in this scenario, using mr
emulation within that same bucket.

Again, I'm not saying this is a good idea or worthwhile whatsoever, but it
seems it could be possible as long as standard save/retrieve methods are
built in mr.
