Looks useful. Drop in mysql compatibility is a huge plus for many projects that are tied to mysql (for whatever reasons).

Does anyone know if there are any plans for having MongoDB style replica sets (e.g. sharded and replicated databases in a cluster)?

Also, it would be great if it supported the native mysql replication, so you could have MemSQL replicas of a master mysql DB.

Sharded/replicated MemSQL is in the works. And yep, the replication will be compatible with MySQL replication to enable grouping MemSQL and MySQL nodes.

Excellent! Good work!

Side note: IMO, If you want to completely dominate this space, make it super easy to add new nodes and replicate the existing DB without having to take a snapshot from the master.

Thanks! This is absolutely on our minds.

Seconded, this would be an amazingly compelling and valuable feature!
