indexdb and sync

[jprichardson]

Any hope on opening this up again for reconsideration? Syncing with PouchDB would be killer!

[coffeemug]

FYI, for anyone watching this -- we're on it! It won't be exactly like Pouch, but we'll allow accessing RethinkDB from the browser in a way that will make building apps that have intermittent network connections dramatically easier.

I'm also interested by rethinkdb implementing the couchdb replication protocol, so it can be synchronized with pouchdb.

[danielmewes]

I'd like to note that the project we're working on is not primarily targeting offline syncing.
It's a functionality that would fit in nicely though, so we might be able to add it eventually.

[coffeemug]

Thanks @gedw99! We're sifting through feature requests now. This one is pretty far from our sweet spot, but we'll see if there is something we can do.

[coffeemug]

Moving to backlog -- there are much more pressing concerns for the next few weeks.

[coffeemug]

Ok, at this point this is really remote, and we're unlikely to get to it in any reasonable timeframe. Closing.

[neumino]

Is this issue about synchronizing the database and the client?

Feeds can basically do it right? Or am I misunderstanding this issue?
#997

[jprichardson]

@neumino Yes, synchronizing a PouchDB instance that exists in a web browser with RethinkDB would be excellent. I'm not sure how much PouchDB is tied to CouchDB so maybe it's not even practically feasible in the near future.

Feeds are definitely a step in the right direction to solving this problem.

[coffeemug]

There are quite a few features moving in this direction. We likely won't do pouch integration ourselves, but there will be plenty of options to allow third party integrations.

[jozanza]

Hey @coffeemug, I've been using Rethink for the past month, and it's really great. I'm wondering has there been any more traction on synchronization features or integrations with PouchDB you're aware of?

[coffeemug]

@josiahsavary -- not that I know of yet, sorry!

[arlair]

@coffeemug Sounds very interesting. Is there somewhere to find out more information about this? Thanks.

[coffeemug]

@arlair -- yes, I just invited you to the private repo.

can i also get an invite ?

I am using rethinkdb for a project where this would be very useful. so i can also feedback on typical use cases, and stability

[coffeemug]

@gedw99 -- just invited you to the project, sorry for the delay, this slipped through the cracks. /cc @mglukhovsky

Awesome thanks @coffeemug
I just got the invite and added myself

[tillre]

We are using couch/pouch for online/offline sync. I would love to try RethinkDB in our case.

[jacwright]

@coffeemug could I get access to this project?

[coffeemug]

/cc @mglukhovsky @KittyBot -- they can give you access

[joeblew99]

Me too please. It's exactly what I am interested in doing also

[mglukhovsky]

@jacwright, @joeblew99: you can sign up for the developer preview of Horizon, our upcoming open-source realtime backend, by going to horizon.io.

[joeblew99]

@mglukhovsky Thanks. wil do.

there are already pouch based addons for local storages so how about local storage adapter that sync with rethinkdb , may be we can just use PouchDB and then develop a protocol adapter for sync.
