Actually, I have been on a few projects where something like that is
useful.  Gemfire(a grid memory cache) had that feature which we used at
another company.  On every project I encounter, there is usually one small
table somewhereÅ .either meta data or something that is infrequently
changing and nice to duplicate on every node.  I bet eventually nosql
stores may start to add it maybe in a few years, but I guess we are not
there yet.

Thanks,
Dean
