Or use postgres and be able to import the binary table files on another install for DR.

I'm not sure about what you're talking about. But here, if you didn't get the idea, is a MySQL plugin to execute JS script inside database. It's helpful for sort of task that seem to be tedious for SQL; like creating small CRC algorithm, advanced JSON manipulation/lookup...

My motivation behind is: simplify SQL queries by delegating all expensive calculation to Javascript layer.

I found the great use-case is when mixing JS with Trigger.

as the maintainer of plv8, I wish you all the luck in the world dealing with v8 being a build requirement, as well as distribution and the fairly regular build system changes as well as API changes inside of v8 itself.
