Of all the key/value stores out there, why did they choose memcached to emulate? Compare-and-set doesn't cut it, you need a better API than it offers to get any benefit from InnoDB transactions. And if any value should happen to grow beyond 1 MB, some legacy memcache clients will just start blowing up.

Maybe it doesn't suit your needs. If not, don't use it. But lots of folks are using memcached. Seems like a great project to me.
