I think it's weird when people believe there's a tool that will do their job for them, like a hammer that builds a roof by itself.

I'm sure HyperDex is totally useful for some cases, but it has clear disadvantages when you try to use it for what it wasn't intended (like global HP databases). All of a sudden you find yourself building glue to make it fit with your hybrid architecture. Instead you could take something simple and customize it, and build a huge successful business off of it, like the biggest sites in the world do currently with various tools that weren't engineered to solve simple problems like the number of round trips to look up an object.
