I see no reason not to. OTOH, it seems very bleeding edge right now.

If we want to consider a clustered, in-memory SQL database, probably
looking at MySQL's cluster thingy is a better place to start:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL_Cluster

It seems to be a similar architecture, has been around since 2004, and
is surely a bit more mature. I don't think we actually have to do
anything other than support MySQL as a data source and then configure
the database properly. I think.

The Wikipedia also lists a bunch of possible alternate data stores:

I eagerly await the optimized data sources submitted by fans of each
database. :)
