Most high end DB support is very expensive. Cassandra, Oracle, etc, etc.
What bothers me more than anything was Aerospike felt the need to compare a benchmark done on an in-memory dataset directly with a Cassandra benchmark on dataset that was many fold larger into disk. They made this comparison and said "look! Aerospike is x times faster than Cassandra!"
That was the end of giving a shit for me. When people feel they need to lie to convince you of something, that is when I know that I don't want what they want.
Incidentally, that is also how I stopped caring about politics.
