It was rerun with that call:

Still we don't know the hardware, what versions were installed, configuration changes etc.
The whole thing is pretty meaningless.

#4Benchmarking is hard and a lot of reports are bogus. However they are still very useful for a lot of developers.
Benchmarking programming languages got better. E.g.: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/ gives roughly idea about performance of programing languages.
I wish something similar existed for databases. I think exact figures would be hard to get, but I believe there are many 2x 10x differences that we should be aware of.

#5> I expect to be able to click on a table and see the rows inside - like all the tools out there for Mongo, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
He does have a point there. It is slightly annoying having to type out a query when I just want to browse the data. (No real biggie though..)

Hence "benchmarketing".

#8Not sure what's worse here - people relying on third party benchmarks (hint: always do your own; see how a tool performs on your data, on your hardware, for your problem set), or the fanboy-ish panic when they are unsettled that a benchmark might make their chosen toy less shiny?

#9I've been working with RethinkDB recently on some slightly unusual things and the Rethink team has been first class. They've got great support on IRC and GitHub and are open and friendly. I highly recommend them.

Everyone likes to see how their tool of choice performs against other tools.
And it's an important (albeit just one part) of deciding which product to use.
