As Heath suggested, hashing is a good idea. I'd do it on the first 
character of
the  datatree_id that the image gets, which will be a hex value (a to f).
That's 16 buckets; if necessary we could then hash those buckets on the 2nd
character of the name, which would be 256, which is probably enough. :)
