Description

One common use case is to append a set of values to an array for a specific document (or create that document if it doesn't exist). A question on this use case is described in more detail here -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1877.

We should add a cookbook entry that describes a canonical way to do this in Rethink.

Document the canonical way to append multiple values to an array for a specific document, including the create-if-missing case, and confirm the entry addresses the stated use case.
