I was talking to a guy from Mongo at a conference and he said that Rethinkdb's sharding is as bad as Mongo's because it can't be done in realtime. Is this true?

I was talking to a guy from Mongo at a conference and he said that Rethinkdb's sharding is as bad as Mongo's because it can't be done in realtime. Is this true? Do you think he meant that it would just be slow to move to sharding for a big database?
- coffeemug 13y agoIn practice today, Rethink's sharding is very similar to Mongo's sharding. This won't remain the case for long -- you'll soon be able to add and remove shards live if that's a requirement in your application. The architecture's already in place, but there are some loose ends we have to tie up to expose this functionality to users.
