Is it still badly documented and near impossible to setup a cluster?

Single node performance is good. Jespen tests are there. But devops says no. After two days they simply couldn't get it to run it in a cluster. So for now we switched back to ES for AP stuff and Rethink for CP stuff.

I made it run in a cluster over docker swarm 7 days ago and it was fine ! Actually really nice experience !

That seems to be the type of answer they too believe to be appropiate. UsIng hipster day of week infrastructure like dc/os.

And how about a normal infrastructure? Like OpenStack and Ansible or dedicated servers? We can't have a database dictate our infrastrucure like that, but more to the point: the fact that it thinks it needs to shows a worrisome lack of competence and sense of responsibility.

Its a database. It should run everywhere rather than require exotic tools and parts that likely wont be maintained or be compatible in 3 to 5 years.

To put it simply: we have more and other challenges that actually pay the bills -- for a database we should feel like we can install it into any setup.
