However being system admin of a PostgreSQL database managing a lot of timeseries I was just like "meh use timestamp and good index, what's the deal?". Also for performance sake just cluster the data using the most used index...

But yeah I guess if you really need NoSQL this should be nice. However sharding based on time will probably be one of the easiest approach for horizontal PostgreSQL deployment.

One of the most compelling features of Riak, both KV and TS, is that it is masterless and replicated. When nodes fail for whatever reason, the cluster handles it transparently.
