bolted joint.
(OP)
what would happen if all the bolts are rigid in a joint. would all the bolt carry the same load? and what about deflection?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Again in general terms, deflection of a beam could be less since the joint becomes more "fixed" than a traditional "simple" support. For reference, look in the AISC manual "Beam Diagrams and Formulas" and compare diagram 15 with diagram 1. This is just typical example, things could be very different depending on the exact conditions.

RE: bolted joint.
The bolts may theoretically carry equal loads ie:- BY DESIGN but in practice this is not usually the case.
Load distribution in a pattern of bolts depends on how the bolts are loaded.
Take say a angled bracket fastened vetically to the wall by a vertical line of bolts, at the top of the bracket,lets say
theres a horizontal ledge with a vertical load trying to prise the bracket off the wall. The load distribution in the vertical line of bolts will not be equal ie:- the bolt near the top of the bracket will see the most load while that furthest away from the top of the bracket will see the least.
Can you elaborate more on the joint you have?

RE: bolted joint.
If you anticipate movement and design for movement at a connection, it is a slip critical connection as SlideRuleEra described above. However, there are a limited number of cases that these connections are practical. Cases include structures with load reversals such as bridges or expansion joints in buildings.
Good luck.
