Multi-indexing: index a single document by multiple values So.. This is an inverted index. Not exactly a new concept, it certainly doesn't justify a new name. Unless, maybe, the people making RethinkDB didn't know.. no, that's impossible right? Could a company commercially selling a database not realize they just reinvented a basic data structure? Then again, the google query "site:rethinkdb.com inverted index" has no relevant results. Maybe they think the name inverted index is more confusing than just inventing a new name?
