RethinkDB sounds like it's document oriented from their site: "RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn."
Also not sure why relational == Meh.
RthinkDB does sound promising though not ready for primetime. The following (critical) features are still in the development pipeline: Secondary indices, a db backup tool.
- mglukhovsky 13y agoDefinitely, we're leaving the production-ready tag off until we've built in some of these features. Secondary index support is ready to go, we'll be releasing v1.5 with it in a few days.
- nissimk 13y agoI read your site and your system sounds very promising as I said in my previous post. It seems like you've identified some of the key problems with earlier noSQL implementations and that you're trying to solve them. Schema free was always a feature I could understand but "no joins" always sounded like an anti-feature to me. The promise of consistency and automatic sharding / replication is very nice but I'll remain skeptical until I hear about some production implementations.
- cmircea 13y agoMy apologies, I thought RethinkDB was a relational database; the mention of joins gave me the thought, as I don't know of any other non-relational database that directly supports joins.
