Agree w/ all these points (forgot "S3 has provider lock-in" though others replicate the API). I do use Cassandra for most use cases and I don't hit GC things, but I understand the concerns that come with the JVM (no, haven't subbed Scylla in yet). One that I haven't tried but want to hear the downsides of is https://github.com/pingcap/tikv https://github.com/pingcap/tikv (not the DB built on top, but just that one for KV). A nice published list of all cons of all database systems would be ideal.

From what I could tell, its tikv is virtually useless without the rest of the tidb (the MySQL layer that sits on top written in go) to be useful. TiKV has no replication / sharding built in, that is actually handled by a Placement Driver (PD) From the docs: > TiKV is a component in the TiDB project, you must build and run it with TiDB and PD together.
