A comment on ReGrid – Distributed realtime file storage with RethinkDB.

One nice thing about GridFS is that the spec is maintained by MongoDB and consistently implemented in all its major DB drivers.

Any plans to port this to other languages, or get the spec blessed by RethinkDB?

It is already ported to the .NET driver.

Slava Akhmechet is aware of the project, and Daniel Mewes has helped me adapt GridFS to RethinkDB.

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.

Out of curiosity, why would you prefer this sort of implementation to something more in line with MogileFS? [e.g. Metadata storage with the actual file stored independently on the local file system of multiple physical nodes]
