Thanks for the heads up (was looking for more real info and not the damnable 'beta signup' form)

This sounds like SQL ontop of Cassandra (for a more or less mental-map if you are looking for one):

  Our distributed non-blocking atomic commit protocol allows database 
  transaction processing at any available node. The system is 
  designed to provide a consistent view of data, high availability, 
  and the ability to detect and manage partitions in a predictable   
  and consistent manner. Query processing scales with the number of 
  available nodes, storage scales according to the choice of storage 
  manager of which there are many. Storage managers are key/value 
  storage engines that also operate as a distributed in-memory cache 
  and participate in the commit protocol to ensure durability 
  guarantees.
