Thanks, but word of warning - through the Data Explorer interface it is possible to take down a core or two by passing things like 'while (1) {}' to the r.js() command

No good deed goes unpunished, etc.

Hey, it's actually not very difficult for us to make this more robust (e.g. kill and restart the v8 process if it gets out of line). EDIT: here's an issue for this -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/69

We'll fix this ASAP (though this is somewhat of a low priority).

There are actually really cool insidious queries you can run. There is for example a query you can run which will insert an infinite number of documents into a table!! Hats off to the first person to post it.

It's awesome that you're hosting this you should just be sure it's on a machine you're not depending on for other services.

t.forEach(t.insert(t.without("primaryKey"));

Only try this at home.

Thanks. I tried it out and it wasn't too bad. It's in LXC in KVM on hardware, so there's some cgroups and vpus and such in the way of total meltdown
