A few things (I'm the author of InfiniSQL)

1) I include keystore-like stored procedures in the source. They do get/set with integer key and string val. I haven't done thorough benchmarking, but I expect them to outperform the other benchmark I've published, which is quite a bit more complex workload

2) (camus2) agreed, nothing ever dies in IT. But roll back the clock a few years. How much noSQL would come into exisence if there was a free xzySQL that scaled across nodes, was fast, etc. I believe the answer is that there'd be very few network-based noSQL for operational workloads if that had been the case.

3) jwatte: Yeah! Jagged edges too!

4) stephen24: Also, I intend to change the license from AGPL to GPL next time I push out some code. No excuse not to try it out.

5) siliconc0w: There's an architectural write-up at High Scalability: http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/11/25/how-to-make-an-in... -- I believe that the actor model architecture is distinct in InfiniSQL.

6) diwu1989: Yes and no. Yes, MemSQL is more mature. No,

(a) I'm not sure how MemSQL scales horizontally (especially since that was a feature added after v1 of their code was released), and,

(b) MemSQL isn't free software

7) itsbits: for now InfiniSQL is mainly for hackers and early adopters--the dependencies are pretty clearly documented but it requires some effort to work with in its current state
