Even though Redis is moving from being a Memcached competitor to being more of a Cassandra competitor and MySQL is used by many of the world's largest websites

Even though Redis is moving from being a Memcached competitor to being more of a Cassandra competitor and MySQL is used by many of the world's largest websites (often as a glorified key-value store) they are odd choices. Would anyone really use Redis for 'big data' ?

None of them do auto-sharding and master-master replication. This is the domain dynamo/bigtable-like systems (elasticsearch, riak, cassandra, hbase, voldemort)

  Actually AFAIK MySQL supports master-master and the Cluster version supports autosharding.

    Supports versus recommends are two different things. To do master-master correctly, you need either some sort of conflict resolution or a locking manager. MySQL has neither.
