ThinkSync
A RethinkDB management tool.
A command line tool to ease development and administration.
This is a fork of Thinker for RethinkDB, with one extra feature: The --ixo
flag (or --indexOnly
) causes thinksync
to only synchronize indexes, ignoring
table data.
One other change is that the sync
command is now the default command, so you
don't have to pass it.
FAQ
Doesn't RethinkDB already have dump
and restore
commands for handling this?
The default sync
command runs a hashing function on the tables in both databases and only modifies the data that is different, saving tons of bandwidth and time. For example, I regularly update a local copy of a production database for development. The database is 20GB in size, I can sync
the changes over a ~25mb link in about 20 minutes.
ThinkSync's clone
command can dump and restore in one step (even to remote databases). clone
can also target a different database on the same server.

Documentation
Synchronize two RethinkDB databases.
thinksync
Synchronizes tables, indexes and data from the source database to the target database. The target database is modified to match the source.
ThinkSync============================== Sync two RethinkDB databases. Usage: thinksync [sync] [options] thinksync [sync] --sh host[:port] --th host[:port] --sd dbName --td dbName thinksync [sync] -h | --help Options: --sh, --sourceHost=<host[:port]> Source host, defaults to 'localhost:21015' --th, --targetHost=<host[:port]> Target host, defaults to 'localhost:21015' --sd, --sourceDB=<dbName> Source database --td, --targetDB=<dbName> Target database --pt, --pickTables=<table1,table2> Comma separated list of tables to sync --ot, --omitTables=<table1,table2> Comma separated list of tables to ignore Note: '--pt' and '--ot' are mutually exclusive options. --ixo, --indexOnly Only sync table indexes, not data. --user Source and Target username --password Source and Target password --su Source username, overrides --user --sp Source password, overrides --password --tu Target username, overrides --user --tp Target password, overrides --password
Clone a RethinkDB database.
thinksync clone
directly copies tables, indexes and data from the source database to the target database. The target database is dropped and recreated.
ThinkSync Clone============================== Clone a RethinkDB database on the same host or between remote hosts. Usage: thinksync clone [options] thinksync clone --sh host[:port] --th host[:port] --sd dbName --td newDbName thinksync clone -h | --help Options: --sh, --sourceHost=<host[:port]> Source host, defaults to 'localhost:21015' --th, --targetHost=<host[:port]> Target host, defaults to 'localhost:21015' --sd, --sourceDB=<dbName> Source database --td, --targetDB=<dbName> Target database --pt, --pickTables=<table1,table2> Comma separated list of tables to copy --ot, --omitTables=<table1,table2> Comma separated list of tables to ignore Note: '--pt' and '--ot' are mutually exclusive options. --user Source and Target username --password Source and Target password --su Source username, overrides --user --sp Source password, overrides --password --tu Target username, overrides --user --tp Target password, overrides --password
