Orchestration and data movement can be expressed with SQL. Assign shards however you need, run queries. I am working on the (parallel, distributed) SQL engine and you can't even fathom how often I see SQL queries disguised-as/hand-compiled-into for loops in C++. Essentially, whatever SQL engine works on can and should be expressed as data tables and their processing and transformation should also be SQL-expressed.
