Description

The Pratition inheritence scheme is not perfect. We have an AbstractPrtition class which is not extended by the MasterTable class. In fact, the current scheme is :

(Partition) <--- (PartitionNexus) O--- [DefaultPartitionNexus]
O O O

	+--- [AbstractPartition]
	^ ^
		+--- [NullPartition]
	+--- [SchemaPartition]
+--- [DefaultPartitionNexus] +--- [BtreePartition<ID>] ^ ^
+--- [LdifPartition] +--- [AbstractXdbmPartition<ID>] ^ ^
+--- [AvlPartition] +--- [JdbmPartition]

This structure could be simplified, as every Partition class should extends the AbstractPartition class
