Hi, I am building a sort of db as a service (more, one db table as a service) and I want every user to have their own storage as much isolated as possible (and give them some freedom in terms of schema customisation and the ability to build 2i indexes). You know what kind of memory cost we are talking about? Is this going to influence clients (I am using DS python driver) too? (eg. flooding them with meta data)
