There is quite a bit to make more clear. I'd like to see how far along I can get into abstracting away the dynamodb issues.

In your scan vs. query example I'd want to duplicate the data to two indicies ... and running both through a query call. If I can get even a decent amount of consistency this way (the real challenge to the multi-index problem using this method) for small/medium data sizes it would work and still be cost effective. At larger data sizes an application will most likely know which queries it needs to execute consistently in an indexed fashion and which could be farmed out through elastic map reduce.

As mentioned here:

Amazon is looking into these concerns and I'd like my abstraction to stay constant throughout the transition. (while informing the user as to what its actually doing)

Ah okay. I understand. Looking forward to how you expand it! Will be watching the project.
