Good memory management is important for a high performance, low latency DBMS. I don't see how getting rid of GC is bad engineering practice. If a tool is not well suited for a problem, use another tool. Could you please explain your opinion?

That might be an argument for not using Cassandra. It’s a pretty big leap to reimpmenting half of Cassandra in c++.
