The implementation of the "Multi" method in RethinkDB was not correct, as it caused operations to be executed in the wrong order and it was not using a transaction (per comment on code:
best effort, no transacts supported
)In essence, RethinkDB was not supporting transactions, and advertising the existence of the Multi method can cause users to believe it does, with dangerous potentials for data loss.
