Sharding Support

[Lance Andersen]

As there are several databases that provide support for sharding, we have put together a simple sharding API for JDBC.  

    DataSource ds = new MyDataSource();
    ShardKey shardKey = ds.createShardKeyBuilder()
                           .subkey("abc", JDBCType.VARCHAR)
                           .subkey(94002, JDBCType.INTEGER)
                           .build();
    Connection con = ds.createConnectionBuilder()
                       .user("rafa")
                       .password("tennis")
                       .setShardKey(shardKey);
                       .build();

Note you will see the start of a few additional clean-ups as well in the javadocs
