Description

The deploy/example.yml has 2 parts in the keyspace it's creating but the VSchema is just created as an empty { }.

I think this is causing problems as I was seeing errors complaining that tables I created in that keyspace weren't sharded.
I think during instantiation of the keyspace it should detect parts > 1 and update the schema with the minimum:

{
  "sharded": true
}

Research direction

Start with deploy/example.yml and trace the keyspace instantiation path that creates its VSchema. Reproduce the case with more than one keyspace part, then verify that the resulting VSchema contains the minimum sharding setting and that tables in the keyspace are treated as sharded.
