I am pretty confident that the specialized indices we use (implemented
directly in C++) are significantly faster than implementing comparable
indices in an enterprise DB would be.
Wow. You've floored me given that indexes are key to what enterprise DBs do
well. What are the special requirements/functionalities of the indices that
you believe that enterprise DBs are not *optimized* to handle?

Name all the large, long-term projects that you know of that *haven't*
gotten bitten by something like this. Now, name all of the large,
long-term projects that you know of that HAVE gotten bitten repeatedly by
the state of the art moving past something that they have custom
programmed and can't easily integrate. If the second number isn't a lot
larger than the first, you're not living in my world. :-)
I think you're exaggerating the issue. Porting the NM code from 32->64
bit was a pain but not a huge deal, certainly a trivial % of the total
work done on the project.
I do not think an enterprise DB would serve well for Novamente. I am
pretty confident that the specialized indices we use (implemented directly
in C++) are significantly faster than implementing comparable indices in
an enterprise DB would be.
However, the advantage of an enterprise DB would be that you'd avoid some
of the work involved in making NM a distributed system --- work we know
how to do, but haven't done yet, because it's time-consuming...
