In my case I'm dealing with data spread across a known range of
dates. So I partition it into separate tables (with identical schema
definitions) based on the date (e.g., a table for January, a table
for February, and so on).
Then when I get a query, I just have to parcel it out to the
appropriate machines and merge the results that I get.
