- Setup of a replica set: is it easier/faster than with Mongo (which I find complicated)?
- Sharding: Easier than with Mongo?
- Rethink's query language: Is it really better than Mongo's after you used it for some time?
Happy to hear more insights if you know more noteworthy stuff and please no bashing of any of them. Just try to make an educated decision.

Reolication/clustering is real easy to set up.
Sharding is easy.
Scaling is easy.
I cant comment on query language vs mongo or rethink, since my experience with them is too limited.

Depending on what your goal is: Did you consider elasticsearch? Reolication/clustering is real easy to set up. Sharding is easy. Scaling is easy. I cant comment on query language vs mongo or rethink, since my experience with them is too limited.
Correctness isn't the primary focus, so unless you are willing to lose some stuff, don't use elasticsearch as your primary database.

It you do not need to push to the client, I'd use Postgres. It just works. For replication and sharding better wait for 10 though.

Think of this like Maslowe's hierarchy of needs. Sharding and replication are up at the top with self-actualization stuff like job satisfaction and feeling love toward animals. Meanwhile Mongo is missing the real basic stuff, like actually keeping your data, which is down with food, water, and shelter. You might think you care about replication, but you don't care about replication when both your database servers run out of memory at the same time.

The problem with a feature comparison between Mongo and another database is that feature comparisons rarely include the features that Mongo lacks. Mongo looks good if you ask about sharding or replicating, but Mongo looks terrible if you ask about losing data or leaking memory. But nobody asks about losing data or leaking memory because they reasonably assume that a popular data store wouldn't do those things. That a…
Sorry, but this is just not true for many years now. Mongo has its warts but reading old stuff again and again feels strange and like pure hate. If your claims have some recent sources I am happy to hear them.

Former rethinkdb developer here. Sharding and replication just work out of the box. Connect the servers to each other with "rethinkdb --join otherserver", then use the web dashboard or the client APIs to specify how many shards and replicas for each table. Send queries to any server in the cluster and they get routed automatically.
Nice! Also the writes? Mongo wants the writes to the primary only.

After some years with Mongo I would not use Mongo again (we had some site downs). It you do not need to push to the client, I'd use Postgres. It just works. For replication and sharding better wait for 10 though.
