The index related issues themselves should be a show stopper. I couldn't believe it until I ran into other people saying the same thing, but having secondary indices on your tables slows writes down by something like an order of a magnitude.

I've yet to see an OLTP system that doesn't use secondary indices on tables. And if your workload is OLAP, there are far better relational tools.
