no "single point of failure"

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

Sharding

by using Cassandra

Offers an API for user-defined Map/Reduce methods

yes

by using Apache Kafka and Apache Zookeeper
