I doubt MS will ever release a non-hosted version. I see this product as a competitive offering to Amazon's Dynamo and Google's BigQuery on AppEngine.

BigQuery isn't really in the same space; it's meant for analytics queries where speed isn't as important (queries take seconds or minutes). Google Cloud Datastore is a better parallel.

Search API. Datastore isn't really aimed at search.

The Search API is pretty much for searching text, whereas this is a database.

Also the Search API is terrible.

While I agree the Search API isn't great, it searches text, numbers, dates and geopoints. That's good enough for most uses.

Similarly the Azure Search appears to be a competitor to Amazon CloudSearch. I'm not aware of a Lucene based search offering from Google, however.

I think you mean a local version, or a non-hosted version.
