RethinkDB allows users to reshard with a single click in the WebUI. All you need to provide is the number of shards you want and it will partition the data evenly in to that many shards and lay them out on machines. You can see this in action in the webcast video (http://www.rethinkdb.com/screencast/) or you can install and see for yourself.

Thanks. So in theory something like this would not have happened with Rethink? https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mongodb-...

Yes, we put an enormous amount of effort into building a rock-solid architecture. However, any software has bugs, especially early on. We're working hard to make RethinkDB production ready, but it will take a few more months until it gets sufficiently battle tested that we can recommend running it in prod. environments.
