Ram only tables :)
Sure, but that hardly makes it not "usable". Considering the price of RAM these days, having enough RAM to hold the database (distributed over the entire cluster) is perfectly acceptable for quite a few people.
(Another deficiency is in 4.0, predicates in queries would not be pushed down to storage nodes -- so you had to stream the *entire* table over the network, and then apply the WHERE clause at the frontend query node. That is fixed in 5.0, though.)
