[History snipped, not relevant]
Just to provide an update on my quest for those who may be interested:
I appear to have more or less settled on OrientDB, which didn't get mentioned here. It's a distributed database (using Hazelcast, which did get a mention here), and is Java based (which I was biased against initially but it seems happy within the constraints of something like a Pi). It's a NoSQL database (with a fairly straightforward SQL interface for people like me who are new to NoSQL). The distributed side of things has seemed mostly trivial so far (install Java, download it and run it on two PCs and they find each other and take it from there themselves).
Biggest challenge for me is the lack of NoSQL knowledge but I'll post a question about that in a new thread.
