> We will also put the technology on steroids, by building a clustered system Isn't that the same as MySQL Cluster, minus the SQL-to-C++ part (and maybe lock-free structures)? Why not fork MySQL Cluster to add the SQL-to-C++ code generation? Then it seems you could claim (from MemSQL site) "MemSQL is ... still faster than other in-memory databases because of SQL-to-C++ code generation" and also support every feature of MySQL Cluster. Why reinvent the wheel only to create something with great limitations compared to the existing wheel?
