Could this move of Mongodb inc. makes the comeback of the rethinkdb? I hope so

  You seem like you know something about rethink. I do not, and couldn't find this information but maybe you know? One irritating feature of Mongo (and I suppose other db's too; orientdb does this) is that once it grabs disk space, it never lets it go. It'll reuse that space, but the OS will never see it again. (EG: If I store 10GB of stuff, and delete 9GB of it, the OS still sees all 10GB of disk used). Does rethink do this as well?

    You just need to iterate over the collections calling the compact command. You can create a small script and schedule it.
