The ClientBackend implements the Collection API as a HTTP client to a remote server running the RestFrontend. Unlike the other BackEnds, it does not store any data locally. Instead, it forwards all requests to the remote server.

Currently, it exists as a proof-of-concept of GrassyKnoll's capability for distributed computing. More advanced strategies, such as replication and partition (aka sharding) may be developed.

ClientBackend lives in grassyknoll.client.ClientCollecton
