And don't forget the TokuDB storage engine. It has some very interesting and different scaling/performance characteristics which can provide dramatic improvements for some workloads.

(Even though TokuDB is probably not the "best" choice for my workload, I love it for my text-heavy tables because its performance is still great and its on-disk compression ratios are superb.)

Fair enough, but personally I would be very hesitant to adopt TokuDB for a new use-case in 2018. Its rate of development and adoption have both slowed considerably in recent years, and MyRocks covers similar use-cases.
