RethinkDB python library. Provides connection manager and ORM framework (object-relational mapping, sometimes called ODM or OM for nosql databases).

Three main purposes:

• round-robin connections among database servers
• make sure connections close at proper time
• retry retry-able queries on failure

Not currently a connection pool, because it doesn’t keep any connections open. Should be possible to implement connection pooling without changing the API.

import doublethink
rr = doublethink.Rethinker(['db0.foo.com', 'db0.foo.com:38015', 'db1.foo.com'], 'my_db')
rr.table('mytable').insert({'foo':'bar','baz':2}).run()
for result in rr.table('mytable'):
    print("result={}".format(result))

Simple yet powerful ORM system. Does not enforce a schema.

import doublethink

rr = doublethink.Rethinker(['db0.foo.com', 'db0.foo.com:38015', 'db1.foo.com'], 'my_db')

class MyTable(doublethink.Document):
    pass
MyTable.table_create(rr)

doc1 = MyTable(rr, {'animal': 'elephant', 'size': 'large'})
doc1.save()

doc1_copy = MyTable.load(rr, doc1.id)
doc1_copy.food = 'bread'
doc1_copy.save()

doc1.first_name = 'Frankworth'
doc1.save()

doc1.refresh()

Now also has a ServiceRegistry class, a lightweight solution for service discovery for distributed services. Maintains service info and status in a rethinkdb table called “services”.
