#3> Currently, ZeroDB works with Hadoop and will soon will expand to other parts of the big data ecosystem, like Spark and Impala, as well as legacy databases, like Oracle, DB2, and MySQL.
I guess mysql is a legacy database, now. Someone should let all the committers know that they should transition to support roles and stop new feature development. Hadoop is the future of sql.

Yeah, I guess a little early to retire MySQL and Oracle :-) Thanks for pointing out, legacy is more about DB2

Do what GM did and call the next version BoltDB.

#9Off-topic: whenever I see (YC ) in a title I always assume it's a job posting and automatically ignore it. Might be detrimental to label a blog post appear that way.

#10The biggest technical hurdle for this type of database right now is index lookup. Since the nodes on the indexes are encrypted the client/server requires a round trip for every binary tree index level that needs to be traversed. This makes what is usually one of the fastest database operations into a slow one.
