While the system is designed to run on any platform, I simply don't have the bandwidth to support every OS for every build at this stage of the startup. We got it running on one Linux distribution for a few builds, but until we get more resources I have to limit its scope for now. We are looking for innovators and early adopters at this stage (for those familiar with Geoffery Moore's book 'Crossing the Chasm') who are willing to evaluate the technology without concern that every OS, every language, every integration, and every feature isn't working perfectly yet. I thought HN would be a great place to find such people, but based on several of the comments, there are a lot of late adopters and even laggards hanging out here.

>there are a lot of late adopters and even laggards hanging out here Databases, data stores, etc all have to work flawlessly for a long time You're not going to find many (if any) "early adopters" in that field

I suspect the data science folks are more likely to be interested in what you've done than dba's, at the stage you're at. They're more likely to be working with desktop tools, with their own copies of unstructured or semi-structured data and they're far more likely to be doing as-hoc or exploritory queries and manipulations, and they'll care far less about concurrent access.. which is absolutely critical to just about any environment who still think it's worthwhile to hire dba's. Faster queries for a single user on a desktop solves no problems I have - as nifty as some of the techniques you're starting to talk about are.
