> 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?



"Why not fork MySQL Cluster to add the SQL-to-C++ code generation (and lock-free storage engine)?"

:) It is a little more complicated than that.
