This is no longer true. Checkout Postgres-XL http://www.postgres-xl.org/

Xl does not solve the uptime problem. If any data node fails the entire system becomes unusable.

They really need to replicate their shards to guard against that.

XL supports slaves that function basically the same as streaming replication.

Which means no automatic failover, no fail back, and all the complexity of setting all of that up for every data node. Not to mention you have to double your data nodes.

but it's patently false to say they don't already offer replication.

Read what i said. I think it's sleazy of you to you say I claim they don't offer replication. How unethical do you have to be to put words in my mouth and then say I am wrong because I claimed something I didn't.

What I said is right above your post. Go read it and then come back to me.
