The problem is that volumes are chosen once per tablet. So, if you are
using the GeneralVolumeChooser provided (which is really a per-table volume
chooser), there is no ability to set the chooser for this specific table until
after the default one (the RandomVolumeChooser) has already made a permanent
decision for the default tablet. So, one could never write a volume chooser
that said "*Only* use this specific volume for this table." So, this feature is
absolutely essential if you want to implement a per-table volume chooser. I
suppose it could be extracted as a separate issue, which is an explicit
prerequisite of this one, though.
