+            <p>
+			  The primary design objective for Slice is to make the user 
+			  application transparent to the change in storage strategy where 
+			  data resides in multiple (possibly heterogeneous) databases instead
+			  of a single database. Slice achieves this transparency by 
+			  virtualization of multiple databases as a single database such 
+			  that OpenJPA object management kernel continues to interact in
+			  exactly the same manner with storage layer. Similarly, 
+              the existing application or the persistent domain model requires 
+              <span class="emphasis"><em>no change</em></span> to upgrade from a single database 
+              to a distributed database environment. 
+            </p>
+			<p>
+			  An existing application developed for a single database can be 
+			  adapted to work with multiple databases purely by configuring
+			  a persistence unit via <code class="classname">META-INF/persistence.xml</code>. 
+			</p>
+         </div>
+         
+		<div class="section" title="2.2.&nbsp;Scaling"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title" id="d5e16764">2.2.&nbsp;Scaling</h3></div></div></div>
+			<p>
+			The primary performance characteristics for Slice is to scale against
+			growing data volume by <span class="emphasis"><em>horizontal</em></span> partitioning data 
+			across many databases.  
+			</p>
+			<p>
+			Slice executes the database operations such as query or flush <span class="emphasis"><em>in
+			parallel</em></span> across each physical database. Hence, scaling characteristics 
+			against data volume are bound by the size of the maximum data 
+			partition instead of the size of the entire data set. The use cases
+			where the data is naturally amenable to horizontal partitions, 
+			for example, by temporal interval (e.g. Purchase Orders per month) 
+			or by geographical regions (e.g. Customer by Zip Code) can derive
+			significant performance benefit and favorable scaling behavior by 
+			using Slice.     
+			</p>
+		</div>
+		
+        <div class="section" title="2.3.&nbsp;Distributed Query"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title" id="d5e16770">2.3.&nbsp;Distributed Query</h3></div></div></div>
+            <p>
+            The queries are executed in parallel across one or more slices and the 
+			individual query results are merged into a single list before being
+			returned to the caller application. The <span class="emphasis"><em>merge</em></span> operation is
+			more complex for the queries that involve sorting and/or specify a 
+			range. Slice supports both sorting and range queries. 
+            </p>
+			<p>
+            Slice also supports aggregate queries where the aggregate operation 
+			is <span class="emphasis"><em>commutative</em></span> to partitioning such as 
+			<code class="classname">COUNT()</code> or <code class="classname">MAX()</code> but not <code class="classname">AVG()</code>. 
+            </p>
+         
+            <p>
+            By default, any query is executed against all available slices. 
+			However, the application can target the query only to a subset of 
+			slices by setting <span class="emphasis"><em>hint</em></span> on <code class="classname">javax.persistence.Query</code>. 
+			The hint key is  <code class="classname">openjpa.hint.slice.Target</code> and 
+            hint value is an array of slice identifiers. The following 
+            example shows how to target a query only to a pair of slices 
+			with logical identifier <code class="classname">"One"</code> and <code class="classname">"Two"</code>.
+                          
+            </p><pre class="programlisting">
+              EntityManager em = ...;

+              List result = query.getResultList();
+              // verify that each instance is originating from the hinted slices
+              for (Object pc : result) {
+                 String sliceOrigin = SlicePersistence.getSlice(pc);
+                 assertTrue ("One".equals(sliceOrigin) || "Two".equals(sliceOrigin));

+            <p>
+            To confine queries to a subset of slices via setting query hints can be considered
+            intrusive to existing application. The alternative means of targeting queries is to 
+            configure a <span class="emphasis"><em>Query Target Policy</em></span>. This policy is configured 
+            via plug-in property <code class="classname">openjpa.slice.QueryTargetPolicy</code>. The
+            plug-in property is fully-qualified class name of an implementation
+            for <code class="classname">org.apache.openjpa.slice.QueryTargetPolicy</code> interface.
+            This interface contract allows a user application to target a query to a subset 
+            of slices based on the query and its bound parameters. The query target policy is consulted
+            only when no explicit target hint is set on the query. By default, the policy 
+            executes a query on all available slices.  
+            </p>
+            
+            <p>
+            A similar policy interface <code class="classname">org.apache.openjpa.slice.FinderTargetPolicy</code>
+            is available to target queries that originate from <code class="classname">find()</code>
+            by primary key. This finder target policy is consulted
+            only when no explicit target hint is set on the current fetch plan. By default, the policy 
+            executes a query on all available slices to find an instance by its primary key.    
+            </p>
+         </div>

+            <p>
+             The user application decides how the newly persistent instances be 
+             distributed across the slices. The user application specifies the 
+			 data distribution policy by implementing  
+             <code class="classname">org.apache.openjpa.slice.DistributionPolicy</code>.
+			
+			 The  <code class="classname">DistributionPolicy</code> interface
+			 is simple with a single method. The complete listing of the
+			 documented interface follows:
+		   </p><pre class="programlisting"> 
+		    
+			public interface DistributionPolicy {
+			/**
+			 * Gets the name of the slice where the given newly persistent 
+			 * instance will be stored.
+			 *  
+			 * @param pc The newly persistent or to-be-merged object. 
+			 * @param slices name of the configured slices.
+			 * @param context persistence context managing the given instance.
+			 * 
+			 * @return identifier of the slice. This name must match one of the
+			 * configured slice names. 
+			 * @see DistributedConfiguration#getSliceNames()
+			 */
+			String distribute(Object pc, List&lt;String&gt; slices, Object context);
+			}
+		
+       </pre><p>
+        </p>
+			 
+		 <p>
+			 Slice runtime invokes this user-supplied method for the newly
+			 persistent instance that is explicit argument of the 
+			 <code class="classname">javax.persistence.EntityManager.persist(Object pc)</code>
+			 method. The user application must return a valid slice name from
+			 this method to designate the target slice for the given instance.
+			 The data distribution policy may be based on the attribute 
+			 of the data itself. For example, all Customer whose first name 
+			 begins with character 'A' to 'M' will be stored in one slice 
+			 while names beginning with 'N' to 'Z' will be stored in another 
+			 slice. The noteworthy aspect of such policy implementation is 
+			 the attribute values that participate in 
+			 the distribution policy logic should be set before invoking 
+			 <code class="classname">EntityManager.persist()</code> method.
+		 </p>
+             
+		<p>
+			The user application needs to specify the target slice <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span>
+			for the <span class="emphasis"><em>root</em></span> instance i.e. the explicit argument for the
+			<code class="classname">EntityManager.persist(Object pc)</code> method. Slice computes

+		 Slice tracks the original database for existing instances. When
+		 an application issues a query, the resultant instances can be loaded

+            You can find the original slice of an instance <code class="classname">pc</code> by 
+            the static utility method  
+            <code class="methodname">SlicePersistence.getSlice(pc)</code>.
+            This method returns the slice identifier associated with the
+            given <span class="emphasis"><em>managed</em></span> instance. If the instance is not
+            being managed then the method return null because any unmanaged or
+            detached instance is not associated with any slice.

+			While Slice ensures that the transitive closure is stored in the 
+			same slice, there can be data elements that are commonly referred by
+			many instances such as Country or Currency code. Such quasi-static 
+			master data can be stored as identical copies in multiple slices. 
+			The user application must enumerate the replicated entity type names in
+			<code class="classname">openjpa.slice.ReplicatedTypes</code> as a comma-separated list
+			and implement a <code class="classname">org.apache.openjpa.slice.ReplicationPolicy</code> 
+			interface. The <code class="classname">ReplicationPolicy</code> interface 
+			is quite similar to <code class="classname">DistributionPolicy</code> 
+			interface except it returns an array of target slice names instead
+			of a single slice.

+				The default implementation assumes that replicated instances are

+            The database slices participate in a global transaction provided
+            each slice is configured with a XA-compliant JDBC driver, even

+            <p> 
+            No relationship can exist across database slices. In O-R mapping parlance,
+            this condition translates to the limitation that the transitive closure of an object graph must be 
+            <span class="emphasis"><em>collocated</em></span> in the same database.
+            For example, consider a domain model where Person relates to Address.
+            Person X refers to Address A while Person Y refers to Address B. 
+            Collocation Constraint means that <span class="emphasis"><em>both</em></span> X and A 
+            must be stored in the same
+            database slice. Similarly Y and B must be stored in a single slice.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            Slice, however, helps to maintain collocation constraint automatically.
+            The instances in the closure set of any newly persistent instance 
+            reachable via cascaded relationship is stored in the same slice.
+            The user-defined distribution policy requires to supply the slice 
+            for the root instance only.
