They released a DB with great hype that: - had a global write lock. - mmap was the extent of their io and memory management - called rand() in in client to decide if it should report errors - said a write was committed before even sending it out - released benchmarks that measured how fast they could put data into local RAM, but compared it to real dB's - lost data/corrupted on 32 bit builds and dismissed that as being by design - is generally better off replaced by postgres but hyped by people that don't know any better That's off the top of my head. I'm sure there are competent users and it makes sense in some cases but the general feeling is that it's over hyped for the little it is. Their early mistakes make people very cautious about trusting them with important data. And by over hyped, I'm also taking about people that go on about how amazing it is to have a document store, but ignore the obvious idea of using pg and making a table consisting of (key, document) and using XML or JSON operators on top. I might be totally wrong.
