I think the big deal is allegedly "we now have so much data that we have a use for distributed databases with high performance", which allows them to go on and say "and our big deal is that we've built a high-performance distributed database tuned especially for time series".
I only noticed it because I was shocked that there was an actual comprehensible value proposition in a blogpost about a NoSQL product.

Also for performance sake just cluster the data using the most used index... But yeah I guess if you really need NoSQL this should be nice. However sharding based on time will probably be one of the easiest approach for horizontal PostgreSQL deployment.
