There's a lot we need to do... we just put up the page with the DEMO video today, everything else isn't yet updated to reflect the announcement. This is why we're pursuing both products: if you have a hair-on-fire problem, and are willing to spend the time to investigate and become comfortable with a new DB, then you should use the new database. If you're not there yet and MySQL works for you, we'll run it for you so it's less painful. You've chosen Cassandra because you're obviously in the first group; willing to learn about new databases because of your Asia/Europe pain. You're invested in that, so I'm not going to try to persuade you to change your mind; we're looking to help those that have the same problem, but haven't already locked themselves in to non-SQL databases like Cassandra.
