#2Wah. I was hoping for something more interesting than S3 for persistence of the key / values...as kenneth seems to have very novel and interesting takes on things.

#3Seems cool, but the name should be changed. There is already an open source tool called ElephantDB created my Nathan Marz (Clojure, Big Data, Hadoop guru)
Not trying to be a jerk, I'm just sure that if this were my creation I would want people to let me know if I was potentially walking into brand confusion.

There is also John McCarthy's database-like language, Elephant 2000. Elephants never forget, so I think there will be many future databases named Elephant.

#6Very neat idea. I was thinking of something like this to help me offload some of my content from MongoDB to S3 but was stuck on how to make an efficient search.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's using ElasticSearch, not S3. It's, effectively, a niche ElasticSearch API tailored to key/value storage.

#9Very cool, would be great to outline why one would use something like as opposed to say Riak.

Not a name, but PostgreSQL has long used an elephant logo.
