Why doesn't Oracle Coherence ever come up in these discussions of RDBMS alternatives?

I've been going over its documentation, and it looks like the cat's meow in getting rid of the database scalability bottleneck. Think of it as memcached done right. Coherence has automatic clustering, needs almost no configuration, supports many flexible distributed schemes, easy API. With Clojure and Scala, you don't even have to use Java to use it.

Has no one heard of it? Does it get no love because it's commercial and (probably) expensive?
