  How about asynchronous remote procedure calls.  They just
fire-and-forget the parameters/message to a remote procedure.  Or in the
example of possibly dead targets, use synchronous RPC that handles
Communication_Error.
  But setting up the partition mapping for thousands of partitions might
indeed be inappropriate.  ;)
