clj-rethinkdb

Thanks for the example -- while I have never needed to actually change the read mode, you shouldn't need to actually use that query buider, read mode is an optional argument to r/table. Apologize if I misunderstood what you were trying to do, or if this was a relatively recent addition that wasn't available last you used clj-rethinkdb. Here's an example (from tests in the repo): https://github.com/apa512/clj-rethinkdb/blob/1cd09c7c8a4ce27...

I recently used the Rethinkdb client for Clojure[0] and frankly I've found it a bit too unintuitive for use. You need to rely on a "query-builder" to write even simplistic queries. The documentation is also quite incomplete forcing you dive in the codebase to see how to use a feature. I should point out that I'm not taking digs at the library author - much props to him for writing & open-sourcing it. My question to the more experienced Clojure devs in the house - now that the official java client is out, should I use this from my Clojure app or keep using the other one?

I came across this this week working on the RethinkDB driver for Clojure (https://github.com/apa512/clj-rethinkdb/pull/114). As soon as I saw "40ms" in this story I thought "Nagles Algorithm". One thing I haven't understood fully is that this only seems to be a problem on Linux, Mac OS X didn't exhibit this behaviour.

There's also a new third-party Clojure driver under development: https://github.com/apa512/clj-rethinkdb It's not complete yet, but it's starting to look pretty good.
