Newbie questions

Hi,

Just discovered kumofs. It looks great!

I have a few questions:

1) kumofs seems to be similar to lightcloud in that they are both
distributed K/V stores built on top of Tokyo Cabinet. How do they
compare to each other? Is there any benchmark comparing the
performances of them?

2) One common use case I have is to atomically update a field of a
record based on its current value. For example, I want to add 5 to the
current value of the field "popularity" of the retrieved record. Is
that something that can be done easily in kumofs?

3) How does kumofs scale out? If I add a server, do I need to manually
reshuffle existing records to rebalance them, or is there some
automatic rebalancing mechanism?

Thanks.
