CitusDB open-sourced

Citus Data has announced that its CitusDB distributed database has been released, under an open-source license (AGPLv3), as a PostgreSQL extension. "First, Citus 5.0 now fully uses the PostgreSQL extension APIs. In other words, Citus becomes the first distributed database in the world that doesn't fork the underlying database. This means Citus users can immediately benefit from new features in PostgreSQL, such as semi-structured data types (json, jsonb), UPSERT, or when 9.6 arrives no more full table vacuums. Also, users can keep working with their existing Postgres drivers and tools."
