    Description

      There is no good reason for Partitioners to have different semantics than AbstractTypes. Instead, we should probably have 2 partitioners: Random and Ordered, where the Ordered partitioner requires an AbstractType to be specified, defaulting to BytesType.

      One solution suggested by jbellis is to have AbstractType generate a collation id (essentially, a Token) for a set of bytes.

      Looking forward, we should probably consider laying the groundwork to add native support for compound row keys here as well.
