Research direction

Start by reviewing the Prefetcher and DPE entry points, then trace how existing Get and Put operations move data between nodes. Clarify the placement and delegation interfaces needed for data locality; done means advanced access knowledge can place data on a selected node and delegate data to new nodes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Sometimes we have advanced knowledge of data access patterns and should be able to place data on the node directly before-hand to avoid networking costs.

Prefetcher can use Get + Put to place data into a new node.
A DPE should be available which allows data to be delegated to new nodes.
