But that's still better than an exponentially growing `PartitioningCollection`, which basically runs into the same slow query planning issue this PR tries to solve. I talked to @yhuai offline about exactly the same issue you brought up before sending out this PR, and we decided to have a working version first and optimize it later since we still need feedback from ML people to see whether the basic mechanism works for their workloads.
