Andy I am not sure I see the connection between assigning query to a different czar and your comment "if we explode queries into 1000's of pieces and then try to handle reassembly in a single place" I do like the idea of assigning query to a different char. It'd help not only with balancing load between czars, but also with things like gracefully taking down a czar. Let's have this discussion on the qserv mailing list, there are others that will surely be interested in this topic. I'm happy to turn that into story/stories/epics. Let's wait few more days to see where this email discussion (and qserv hangout discussion?) will take us, then we can readjust the plan wrt to czar failover.
