This is a really nice update. Migrating data between releases with a giant Ruby script feels like a hack each time there's an update. Insert speed has been a real annoyance. Fetching multiple keys is really nice (instead of map/filter the entire thing). And expanding pluck() to nested documents makes so much sense (I was worried ReQL would be limited to manipulating top-level documents).

Overall, an exciting release. Going to upgrade and see what insert speed is like on my setup.



For those interested, my insert time for ~250 records (~9.2MB of JSON) went from 340 seconds to 20 seconds.

Unfortunately when migrating from 1.6.2 to 1.7.1 I lost a table (not sure how) and all secondary indexes :(
