Multiple key ranges: synonymous with multiple partitions (my
interpretation). I.e there are a couple of servers running, each server
has declared an interest in a particular range of values for the key.
(Any server's key range cannot overlap with another server's). Each
of these ranges represents a logical partition of the database.
Number of key segments: analagous to multi-key index (eg RMS).
You define the number of keys, the location of each key in the message,
and the values for the keys that the server is interested in when doing
the open channel call on the server.
