I think some people feel disgruntled because the development of clustering started as open source and was some way down the road to being production ready, then it was removed and moved to the enterprise version only. I was planning a metrics architecture around influx; but following that announcement, influx was out of the picture. Had I known from the start that clustering was going to be enterprise only, likely I still wouldn't have chosen it, but my takeaway thought would have been "wow, this is cool, shame clustering is enterprise only". Now I just feel a mild sense of deflation. I don't blame them for going down this route (we all have to eat), but I think had that descision been made earlier it would have looked better on them.
