Nope, just the same API, completely unrelated codebase.

How many people does it take to run it?

“This site” loved ReThinkDB. How is it doing?

Seems like the OP doesn’t know correct syntax for MDB embedded field query which is “a.b”

How much did you actually pay them?

It’s already been mentioned that “Queryable Encryption was designed by MongoDB’s Advanced Cryptography Research Group, headed by Seny Kamara and Tarik Moataz" - are you calling bullshit on their work? What are your qualifications?

there seems to be no details in the report - without seeing code can't be sure if it's a bug in the driver or the application code ...

Replication is literally built into MongoDB so I’d call that trivial.

> Closed, source-available, software vendors are the anti-thesis of that. They want others to participate and contribute,

Whatever makes you claim they want others to contribute? They have a large engineering team, it probably wastes more of their time to review external “contributions” than add value.

> if I could modify the source code … But I can’t … legal.

You absolutely can. Where did you get the idea that you cannot?

You know what database doesn’t contain 8 year old unfixed bugs?

A database that’s 7 years old.

Don’t you get a replica set for that $? That's three of your laptops. And if any of them fail, a free replacement. And that FT sysadmin of yours is willing to work 24x7? Cool!

Why do all your databases have to be on the same shard? Isn’t the idea of snarding you can have different dbs on different shards?

Is this because you were interviewing candidates who were incapable of saying “I don’t know?” That’s a good filter during any interview.

Someone who’s a bit more lazy might just switch their db from default port and assume all is good!

You’re switching from a free database to a paid one because what?

MongoDB only binds to localhost for at least the last four versions (4+ years). Someone would have had to install a really old version or intentionally configure it to listen to public IP.

> what is your user id

I don’t think you actually tried it. It returns user who’s id is “{$ne: null}” (string)

> You would expect better arguments from the folks here.

You would? Why?

Why expected down time for dB that has built in replication?

I would expect downtime from RDBMSS and most banks have scheduled downtime nearly every weekend they say when I log in.

I think you missed the point here - slavery over which the US fought a civil war was not in ancient times nor did it protect US from becoming enslaved.

Who’s their single largest user?

Apache license vs AGPL is not the same approach.

MongoDB owns their code - Elastic does not own Lucene.

I think maybe the doubt is based on case like https://aphyr.com/posts/282-jepsen-postgres which all systems are subject to.

isn't that because they are not distributed systems?

apparently https://archive.is/S1sBt

I think the guy's argument is more "but you should have used my product insteeeaaaadddd"

They were just acquired, so presumably they may have been running out of money. http://www.percona.com/news-and-events/pressreleases/percona...

isn't it because mongo has update operation that can do a $set (like SQL) and couchbase doesn't? how else can couchbase update a field in an existing document?

I suppose couchbase would prefer benchmarks like their previous ones where they overwrote the full ten field document with a single new field since they don't have an update operation.
