What sorts of older things did they throw out? And is there not even eventual persistence with VoltDB? Is there a recovery log or some such? Otherwise it seems like serious power event and you're toast.

Well, a quick read of their white paper makes it look like they just copied the kdb design (http://cs.nyu.edu/shasha/papers/hpts.pdf - which they actually reference in one of their papers).

But perhaps they did something new as well?

edit: citeseer link was broken; replaced with link to shasha's website.

It's consistent, not only eventual consistent, it's k-safe, replicated and it's written to disk consistently at intervals you set. http://community.voltdb.com/node/54 (may require login). It's really pretty neat.
