I looked at couchbase and it seems somewhat user-friendly. The way to preview your created views by using only a subset of data is nice. Another nice thing is the split into ?16? different databases that allow compaction to occur on a smaller level rather than having to compact the whole 60 gb file at once
The downside for me so far:
- I couldn't find any way to import my current couchbase single server data over to couchbase.
- The old couchdb webinterface (futon) made browsing through data easy, the couchbase interface seems to make this a bit more complicated. (Maybe I didn't look in the right places?)
- I couldn't figure out if I can still hook up the _changes feed to elasticsearch
We have something higher-performance than _changes and have had elasticsearch support as a third-party plugin for a while. We don't have firm plans to bring it in first-class, but we do think it would be beneficial to many of our users.
