It would be nice to see a "NewSQL" database like Clustrix in this comparison. From my understanding of their white papers the transactions are ACID.

We have been told by people who should know that Clustrix does not provide serializable transactions, but since this claim is unspecific and not based on publically available information we haven't put it on the page.
Apparently as per their docs (http://docs.clustrix.com/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.acti...) this is true specific to end-user transactions: "Note: serializable isolation not currently available to end user transactions."

The Serializeable isolation level is used for data moves within the cluster according to the table referencing isolation levels and row visibility rules.
