Author here. We originally developed our evolution-inspired tool to optimize LLM prompts. To our surprise, we found that the same method also worked well for getting better performance out of a base model on ARC-AGI tasks. We're open-s

It's on our roadmap! Any particular features you'd be looking for when we add support for those models/agents?

Edit: While Horizon assigns versions internally, it looks like they are not currently used for catching concurrent client-side modifications by different users. (I previously wrote that they would cause the "losing" write to fail

Daniel @ RethinkDB here. We're constantly improving performance and a lot has happened within the past year. I think that at this point RethinkDB is as good a database for analytics as many of the other general-purpose databases when i

Daniel from RethinkDB here. The answer is yes, that's definitely on the radar. I can't give an ETA for the official drivers yet, but I hope it's going to happen relatively soon.

We've heard from a lot of users who want to run RethinkDB on their Windows computer for development purposes. Production servers could then run on either Linux or Windows. I'm not too familiar with Microsoft's licensing terms

A new epoch timestamp is generated when you either first create a new table, or when you use the "emergency repair" operation to manually recover from a dead Raft cluster (usually one that has lost a majority of servers). The wall

Daniel @ RethinkDB here. We're going to add an asynchronous API soon. We decided to get the synchronous driver out to get some early feedback and because we know that a lot of our users have been waiting for official Java support, and

Yes! We wanted to get the synchronous driver out first to get feedback. But a non-blocking mode is definitely coming up. https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/4802

We only submitted the configuration that passed all scenarios, but tested some of the others internally. You generally don't get guaranteed linearizability of operations under network partitions in any of the faster configurations.

We're still working on the full documentation for the Twisted and asyncio backends. We'll put it up in the next days. You can find the Tornado documentation under the link coffeemug mentioned.

Unfortunately 2.0 nodes cannot connect to 2.1 nodes and vice versa, so depending on your table configuration you might need to update all of them at the same time.

by danielmewes 11y ago
If I understand that scenario correctly, it assumes that there is a node that can successfully send messages to the other nodes in the cluster, but cannot receive any responses. Since RethinkDB uses TCP connections, this shouldn't usua

by danielmewes 11y ago
Ah, I have to check how we behave in that case. Thanks for the pointers.

by danielmewes 11y ago
We haven't added special logic for handling such cases. I think having servers with particularly unstable connectivity in a RethinkDB cluster is really uncommon though. If you want to run a RethinkDB server on your mobile device that&

We have carefully designed the way data is versioned and replicated in RethinkDB 2.1 to result in a correct and consistent system in combination with the Raft-supported configuration management. For example we make sure that both components

That's a great question. In our current architecture, we perform failover by selecting a new primary among the existing replicas for a given shard. We do not however add new servers to the replica list during a failover condition. Ther

Yes, that patch for soft durability writes is in there. Looking forward to hear if it improves things for you.

3 nodes are indeed required to have automatic failover working. We recommend using 3 (or more) nodes and replicating all tables with a replication factor of 3. That way each node is going to maintain a full copy of the data. In case of a 1

General query performance should be the same, if not better in this release (the improvements are not due to Raft, but due to other changes). We use Raft only to determine a consistent configuration. The queries themselves are executed in t

(Daniel at RethinkDB here) Thanks for the nice words. We're going to add changefeeds that can survive short client disconnects in 2.2, and add further reliability features for changefeeds in the following versions.

Note that (according to the linked commits), RethinkDB is using what we call "hard" durability in this comparison. This is our default to ensure maximum data safety. Hard durability means that every individual write will wait for
