Slava @ Rethink here. I'll open a github issue when I get to a computer (and will post it here). We'll see if it's technically feasible and how/when we can schedule it.

That's fantastic. Thank you.

Hey guys, I posted a GitHub issue on this feature -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1716.

We'd appreciate if you chimed in with your feedback and ideas! Thanks for bringing this up.

Have to agree with that. A very ugly workaround is something like: r.branch(r.table("users").getAll(email, {index: "email"}).isEmpty(), r.table("users").insert(user), {})

This also holds us back from trying it out as our primary data store (but it is interesting as an additional store for other things that don't need additional unique keys)
