There is the PARTITIONING storage engine. This is a layer in between the upper layer and the storage engine that does foo to make engines that aren't partitioning aware work. NDB is very much the special case as it is partitioning aware. So things are going to look different for partitioning aware and non-partitioning aware engines. I can't actually remember the exact way things work for partitioning aware engines... so can only offer the guess that there is something going on around how partitioning aware engines are dealt with. -- Stewart Smith
