What? Really? Naïve in this context means a general purpose solution that doesn't "know" about your use case. Have people never heard of a naïve algorithm or solution?

Distributed relational databases aren't naïve in this context. MySQL is.

I have a fairly recent PhD in algorithms and I haven't heard naïve used this way. When I hear naïve, it usually just means "does the immediately obvious thing".

For what you're trying to say, the term I'm familiar with is "oblivious", e.g. "oblivious routing" or "oblivious local search", occasionally with modifiers such as "cache-oblivious".

I've never heard use of the word "oblivious", but my education is 15 years old at this point.

Naive is an emotionally loaded word outside of academic communities.
