I have considered it, but it would introduce a very large amount of complexity -- and make rqlite much more complicated to operate. Adding this type of functionality would push mean rqlite would no longer be a worthwhile system to use. It would do something (sharding) probably no better than other systems, but no longer be trivial to operate. rqlite does something somewhat narrow, but does that very well (though I would say that :-) )
