Rethink caught my interest a little while back too. Looks like a well
designed database and a great collection of tools to support it.
The immediate difference that jumped out at me (and the ultimate reason I
chose couch over rethink) is that rethink does not and will never support
master-master replication. See this thread for some background:
https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1019#issuecomment-19573253
Both databases are "distributed" but in different respects. CouchDB is
"distributed" in the same way git is "distributed" (eg we're all equals).
RethinkDB is "distributed" in the scaling sense (sharding / cluster-wide
queries) but there is always an authoritative master.
It seems to me that one could build an add-on to any database to support this I
think? I was actually wondering how difficult it would be to build a 'generic
replication api' that leverages the same CouchDB replication protocol… Has
anyone endeavored to try anything like this? It seems like it should be
straight forward.
In a sense it does feel a lot like BigCouch + MongoDB…
Yes, there is something like that for LevelDB:
https://npmjs.org/package/level-replicate
The reason that it uses LevelDB is because it is more basic, usualy the
backgound storage and it is therefore very fast
But I am not sure if it can recover from a Net-split which is something
that I am not even sure if CouchDB can do stand-alone
