Cassandra, Riak, et all, are basic distributed systems with the notion of easing horizontal scalability. That said, they do not provide instant (or even close to instant) turnaround on bringing new nodes online. Even more so, you're still limited in how you structure your data.
It may sound like I'm criticizing them, but they're still amazing, and IMO where the future of distributed datastores are going.

The key with these systems is too scale early, before the load gets out of hand. Also, MongoDB replica sets can only have a maximum of 12 members.
