/**
 * RoundRobinPartitioning sends requests in a round robin fashion to the set of connection pools.
 * It is for load-balancing read queries across a cluster of database machines.
 * It requires that the full database be replicated on each machine, so does not support partitioning.
 * The data should either be read-only, or writes should be replicated on the database.
 * 
 * Partitioning can be enabled on an Entity, relationship, query, or session/persistence unit.
 * Partition policies are globally named to allow reuse,
 * the partitioning policy must also be set using the @Partitioned annotation to be used.
