I suppose you mean "exactly" in a figurative way. Riegeli is definitely inspired by RecordIO and is meant as a successor to it but it's not RecordIO.

I need to store timeseries with fast lookup by timestamp. Riegeli doesn't support this out of the box. If I had discovered it before I built ChunkIO, I probably would've pulled the low-level code out of it and added timeseries support on top. Or maybe not. Reliability is very important to me and it's risky to use work-in-progress software that may or may not have any production footprint (I'm no longer with Google so I don't know if they use it internally.)
