I think FoundationDb got great scores from Aphyr, sadly it is now owned by Apple. For the others the big problem is when they promise some kind of ACID and cannot achieve it, if they were explicit with what the supported all customers could make informed decisions. Relations systems are generally bad ad horizontal scaling and can get very slow with full ACID over many servers.

FoundationDB ran Jepsen internally and reported stuff[0], Kyle never worked with it.

[0] http://blog.foundationdb.com/call-me-maybe-foundationdb-vs-j... half broken now, none of the images load for me. @aphyr seems to have taken them at their word wrt testing though: https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/405017101804396546


Curious: how difficult is it to replicate aphyr's tests? Can we beleive independent entities posting jepsen reports on some random DB?
