Cons? It's dead -- or so I thought it was. Seems it was open sourced and is getting regular updates and releases. I really liked the idea of it when it came on

  > What is your use-case? Want a DB to store highly connected massive graph structure with requirement of auditing and analytics. > Why do you think RethinkDB would be good for it? It is a document store, supports changefeed, is distributed and fault-tolerant, supports geospatial types, auto-sharding and can scale horizontally.

    Can you do a PoC and see if it will work? One of the things I learned in econ is you can't really understand what price a market will support without putting up a store and selling something.

      Yes, I will be doing that. But thought I will ask the wider community here before proceeding. It will help me avoid problems others have faced.

        Rektide's comment about data corruption is troubling, but perhaps they have fixed those. I wonder has RethinkDB been Jepsen tested recently? 2.2.3 was tested, seems ok, latest version is 2.4.x https://jepsen.io/analyses/rethinkdb-2-2-3-reconfiguration https://jepsen.io/analyses/rethinkdb-2-2-3-reconfiguration

    You've convinced me to take another look at it. I had written it off. I thought it was dead.
