Hi, Alan. Yes, many things are not built yet. Nowhere am I pushing anybody to build their business on it yet, but I am looking for hackers and early adopters/alpha testers. I've gone through pains on every doc that I've created that this is early, alpha, needs lots of work--including the 2nd paragraph of the linked-to article: "InfiniSQL is still in early stages of development--it already has many capabilities, but many more are necessary for it to be useful in a production environment."

Regarding CAP, I'm not addressing multi-site availability at this stage--I want to get single site fully operational, redundant, and so on.

And, yes, to boil it down, it's an in-memory RDBMS using the Actor model.

The most important feature is that it performs transactions involving records on multiple nodes better than anything. This is the workload that keystores functionally cannot do, and which other distributed RDBMS' suffer under. It's also open source, has over 100 pages of technical docs, and is functional enough for people to pound on with some workloads--but not something to put into production yet.
