I'm glad you had a pleasant experience -- it's too bad it didn't work out.

You may be interested in an upcoming feature we currently have in private beta, which does this:

    your events  ---->  Keen IO  ---->  your S3 bucket on AWS
We have a great, standard format for representing the events in files in S3. If you were using that feature, you could just write an Elastic MapReduce job to perform these sorts of custom calculations (we'll be open-sourcing a bunch of these sorts of scripts). Another option would be to pay one of our partners to write this analysis code for you.

I wonder: would that feature be interesting to you? Would it have perhaps allowed us to win your business?

I'm not sure it would have (without trying it), but it certainly would have kept you in the game for a bit longer since I'm a-OK with EMR jobs for my analysis (or presumably being able to download those files and load them into my own Hadoop cluster).
