Dynamo and CouchDB Clusters

• rb2k_ 16y ago
  Isn't it a bit of an overkill to basically add a dynamo layer to couchdb? The only thing that made CouchDB separate from most other document stores are the incrementally generate views and maybe the MVCC append-only approach or the REST interface. Existing Dynamo based solutions like e.g. Riak already have a REST interface, Riak's "Bitcask" is an append-only storage engine and as far as I know, it also features MVCC. So the difference between this and RIAK are the incremental views? Something that could probably be easily added using its commit hooks edit: don't get me wrong, I really like couchDB. It's pleasant to work with and the incremental views are a nice feature

    The nice thing about this is that now you really can scale CouchApps up to the size of Facebook. Write once for your local laptop, keep it running smoothly for millions of users. :)

      That's the advantage of having a hosted solution.But from a technical standpoint, wouldn't that work with e.g. Riak too?
