I think HyperDex is interesting but I really don’t like the style of commentary the author uses.
It’s unclear if the author is mostly bashing on MongoDB but he throws Riak in there, and I have to say: this is not the type of problem Riak is meant to solve so calling it ‘broken-by-design’ is FUD.
On top of that, very few financial transactions have ACID semantics. His ATM example is wrong. Banks love overdraft fees and retail transactions are largely eventually consistent.
