What is your recommendation on storing/retrieving/modifying a list of
comments? I think I need to use the map datatype, as I don't see any
way to delete specific list items based on some kind of attribute in
them. (they can only retain strings or ints after all)

Also, two things: As I understand it, I have to call
hyperclient_loop() every now and then. This is confusing, shouldn't
this be treated by the database? What kind of timeout value should I
use and what do I need the return value for? This sounds like a
function that I have to put into the very core event loop of my
webserver, but like I said, I don't see what utility it has for me.
I feel the same about the thread synchronization. Handling a mutex for
the hyperclient instance is a little inconvenient.

Also, I guess I would appreciate documentation on the subject of how
the project is layed out. How can I start stepping through code in
hyperdex, basically? Where do the python modules fit in, what exactly
is their purpose, why do it  in python, etc. Just some high level
documentation basically.
