I agree that partition pruning becomes impossible for hash-partitioned indexes, 
which means they must be accessed all of them for a bounded range predicate, 
but the advantage of having multiple slave processes scanning single partitions 
could easily outperform the benefit of partition pruning if you are limited to 
a single slave per partition...

Cheers,
