 I don't see any reason why we should not at least first have only local or global scope.

This is my thought as well for at first.

 I'm not sure I agree that we should be able to set destinations on the family scope. What kind of mess are you creating if all families from all tables are going different ways?

Well, the idea behind using an int for scoping, scoping at the family, and building kv routing as a pluggable framework is to be generic enough to separate mechanism from policy. 

As for what we would build into core, I am thinking 1) simple binary scheme -- local or global; and, possibly 2) extend the binary scheme such that, for example, a scope of 0 means local, and a scope > 0 means global, with the desired priority of the replication set by the natural ordering of the int.

> Support column family scoping via a new HCD attribute. Add convenience methods. Add Thrift, REST, and Stargate support. Provide initial set of scoping constants and javadoc setting expectations for a simple default binary scoping policy: replicate, or do not. Make the underlying type Integer so more complex edit routing policies are possible.
