I think this a good place to say thank you for you're work on the Go Rethink driver. This is a clear written easy to follow and effective peace of code.

Thank you very much! I hope to have an update to the Go driver which supports RethinkDB v2.0 within a couple of hours.

I would like to thank you as well! I didn't really have any time to work on rethinkgo after I made the first version, thanks for doing such a good job with gorethink.

Slava, CEO @ Rethink here. There are two aspects that you should consider. Firstly, as Daniel pointed out, RethinkDB is licensed under AGPL. An acquirer wouldn't have the legal means to close the source code, and with over 700 forks on GitHub they also couldn't do it practically. But beyond licensing, consider our personal motivations. We've been working on RethinkDB for five years, and had quite a few opportunities…

In the unlikely chance that you can talk about future plans, is the idea to commercialize by offering "enterprise" support on top of Rethink, or an extended-feature closed source version, etc...? At some point people need bread and butter, so I'm curious where that's going to come from :) <3 Rethink.

Our business plans are all about a subscription support model (see http://rethinkdb.com/services/) and enterprise services on top of RethinkDB. The product will always be open source (hopefully the OSS community at large is past the world of closed source "extensions").

I'm very happy to see this milestone, even tho I haven't used it recently I remember 2/3 years ago we tried it (adtech) for some heavy production workload. Even if we chosen another product (cassandra) I was literally surprised how well performed! Congrats!

Anyone has some numbers on performance? I tried RethinkDB 1.x and the performance wasn't quite there yet, specially bulk import and aggregations.

We'll be publishing a performance report soon (we didn't manage to get it out today). Rough numbers you can expect for 1KB size documents, 25M document database: 40K reads/sec/server, 5K writes/sec/server, roughly linear scalability across nodes. We should be able to get the report out in a couple of days.

Looking forward to seeing the report!
