These have come to be common features of NoSQL in general. I wouldn't be too surprised to see them here in a product marketed as NoSQL. The other attributes i'm not too fussed about personally, i figure i can always work around them or face the question "am i using the right tool for this job?" but the fsync one still gives me the heeby-jeebies (even though it's never bitten me despite many many TBs of data). Cassandra does periodic fsync's (although it can be configured). I understand HBase and Mongo have similar shennanigans.
