> It's amazing how well it works and scales on Kubernetes at the click of a button Oh, just try to scale it down ;) https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/958 Deleting from system table is okay, but messing with server tags (when the setup is heterogeneous) is not exactly fun. To be fair, that's a very minor issue. Perfectly manageable, just a slight inconvenience when you figure things out.

You need to pass the ssl certification to `connect` for the driver to successfully connect to an encrypted port. Check out the docs here: http://rethinkdb.com/api/python/connect/ EDIT: also, we'll modify the docs to make that more clear (see https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/1076)

Hey, I'm one of the maintainers for clj-rethinkdb. There's a few things I can discuss here. > You need to rely on a "query-builder" One of the beautiful things about RethinkDB is it's query language. It is basically S-expressions but in vectors instead of lists. This pairs really well with Clojure as Clojure is made up of S-expressions too. All of the drivers do use some kind of a query builder internally (as far as I'm aware) to build up the query data structure, then they call run on it. This process is just a bit more explicit in clj-rethinkdb, and has all kinds of benefits, like being able to make partial functions, and compose ReQL functions really nicely. > The documentation is also quite incomplete clj-rethinkdb follows the official JavaScript API quite closely. There were two options: create minimal docstrings in Clojure and leave

Read the rest

the main documentation up to RethinkDB, or copy all of the documentation into clj-rethinkdb. There are a few issues with the second approach, the most obvious is how to efficiently copy it, but also that different versions of the RethinkDB server support different functions and options, so we'd need to keep compatibility notes, e.t.c. A really nice approach is in https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/710, and https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/803 but that requires more work. All of that to say, at the moment the best option is to read the JavaScript docs first, then look at the Clojure docstrings for argument order or special notes. > now that the official java client is out, should I use this from my Clojure app or keep using the other one? It makes a lot of sense for clj-rethinkdb to take use of as much of the Java driver as possible. I haven't got any news yet, but it's likely we'll be at least poaching the connection and request/response handling. I'd be happy to jump on a Hangout or text chat in https://gitter.im/apa512/clj-rethinkdb to help you get over any speed bumps using the clj-rethinkdb driver. Hearing a first time users experience would be really good.

We maintain a stable LTS release (v2.0) for those who cannot tolerate breaking changes. Feature releases (e.g. 2.1, 2.2) include new features and do break compatibility on occasion (so we can quickly introduce new behavior). Any breaking changes are well-documented in the release notes[1], so you can have a smooth upgrade path. Minor releases (e.g. 2.1.1, 2.1.2) do not have breaking changes, only bugfixes and minor improvements. I just opened an issue so we can document this more clearly: https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/948 [1] https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/releases

Besides the documentation article Slava linked to, you might find this blog post helpful: http://rethinkdb.com/blog/async-drivers/ If there's anything else you think is missing from the documentation that would be helpful, open an issue here: https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs

slava @ rethink here. I think this sentence is just phrased poorly. It means to convey that there is no atomicity across multiple documents, which is unrelated to the previous sentence. I've opened an issue to fix that: https://github.com/rethinkdb/docs/issues/633. Thanks for noticing!

> Some of your documentation is 404ing. Thanks, will fix momentarily! EDIT: fixed, thanks! > How many dimensions are supported? Two dimensions. The commands are designed primarily with Earth geometry in mind to help people build location-aware apps. > Also, does this support many projections, or just a few. It supports WGS84 (a commonly used ellipsoid model) or a unit sphere. Currently you can't use a plane. Check out http://rethinkdb.com/api/javascript/get_nearest/ for an example. > Does this do a correct interpolation of degrees to meters along the path The implementation is based on the S2 library (https://code.google.com/p/s2-geometry-library/) also used by PostGIS, which AFAIK does spherical linear interpolation. > Are there commands to export WKT or WKB?
