Just to be clear: when a new document D arrives, the question is what 
nodes on the ring do we send it to?  The N clockwise (greater) or 
counterclockwise from (less than) D?  The most recent messages assume 
counter-clockwise (less than).  A document between C and D would be in 
the indexes on nodes A B and C.  The Dynamo paper says "clockwise", but 
I think that direction makes things more confusing and that we should 
instead use counterclockwise.  Note that the index at node C contains 
documents in range C-F, three nodes clockwise, but the Dynamo paper uses 
the term clockwise when talking about assigning instances to nodes, not 
the range that each node contains.  Are we in agreement about this?
