It's unclear exactly what you mean by "rethinkdb-style" because that could mean a number of things, but stay tuned for our posts on this next week, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

also what would be really cool for very-big-data + ~bigger latency is ~index compression.

Bascially Hypertable (based on Bigtable) compresses data in blocks, but in the index saves only the ids of the first and last documents in the block. This could be hard for secondary indexes (maybe?)?

All TokuMX data and index storage is block compressed. It's not hard, it's on by default.
