Stonebraker is known for posting ridiculous things like this in the SQL/NoSQL community. Look at the marketing hype for VoltDB for an idea. He also loves to rag on Riak, which is a pretty solid KV store. This is ridiculous

According to this paper: http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p1724_tilmannrabl_vldb2012.pdf VoltDB does not scale anywhere near even MySQL, let alone Cassandra.

Also, full ACID is overrated. Banks do well without it for years.
