Can you share your thinking about your model for a partitioned

No interdocument consistency guarantees. Views are cluster wide.
Given that the argument that we can't support an ACID bulk update
depends significantly on the details of the partitioned database model
and characteristics, I really can't see how to reason about this issue
without a lot more detail.
