Hello,
I have many many points (roughly 100-200 millions) all throughout the
united states.
I am loading that data into a set of postGIS servers partitioned by
states or counties (partitioning by state is easier because it
requires less instances, but partitioning by county will provide more
"targeted" lookups).

What I want to do is for a getMap request (that will be done per tile)
I want to quickly target the database to fetch the points from by
first doing an intersection lookup by state boundaries (if I
partitioned) or by county boundaries (if I partitioned by county).

so let's assume I partitioned by state, what I would do is receive a
getMap request, fetch all the states that intersect that bounding box,
run through each state I come up with and paint all the points from
that state on the tile raster.

What is the standard method with which people use geoserver to
"target" a particular sets of partitions to grab features from to
paint on a particular raster without having to run through all the
possible partitions?

Thank you,
