Very interesting. I just had a bit longer read of their website and paper than I wanted, and it looks like they are only beating Redis/ Mongo/Cassandra in a cluster config, and only because of a new Cluster hashing/addressing technique.
This Slashdot comment seems to suggest that as well: http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2686615&cid=39128091 And another one that stood out to me (single point of failure): http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2686615&cid=39128435 Anyway, the thing is pretty cool as it is. Imagine using the Locality sensitive hashing[1] to address a distributed cluster of Nodes (with capital N), where each Node.js (or local cluster of Nodes.js) would be using the in-process/intrinsic datastore based on the Fast Multicore Key-Value paper[2]. Cluster logic, query algorithms, configuration, web-service APIs, monitoring tools, etc. would be left as a tasty prey to the hungry packs of JS coder wolves of the Node.js community:) I think the idea is shaping up nicely here.
