Are you asking why they didn't use Haystack? Haystack isn't released publicly as far as I can tell (plus, just because another company writes something doesn't mean it's actually good).

No, I think he is asking why Facebook isn't using something like CDB.

Sorry not being clear enough. Yes I was kind of asking why they didnt try simpler options. When you look at their paper on Haystack you see that it's essentially a constant local database.
