I am amazed by the number of negative comments this article is getting.. on Hacker News of all places.
I don't see the article claiming people should drop PostgreSQL and use this, it's just asking people to give it a try if they are interested.
Much more interesting would be to discuss what capabilities would be different if this were a mature product.
For instance, this sounds interesting:
> One advantage of using Kafka is that multiple servers can all “tail” the same set of topics. This allows multiple KarelDB servers to run as a cluster, with no single-point of failure. In this case, one of the servers will be elected as the leader while the others will be followers (or replicas). When a follower receives a JDBC request, it will use the Avatica JDBC driver to forward the JDBC request to the leader. If the leader fails, one of the followers will be elected as a new leader.
