There is not yet an official Erlang level API. but if you want, you
can just launch CouchDB and call the functions that the couch_httpd
module calls. But that might be too ugly :) We want to refactor things
to include a clean native Erlang API, we just haven't gotten around to
it.

I am using Couchdb in a "LYCE" application (you know, Linux Yaws
Couch Erlang), and I use Couchdb to store data.
I found two differents modules in the wiki able to communicate with
Couch, but both do json enconding then decoding, and uses http as
transport.
I was wondering: could not be possibile to communicate with the
couchdb erlang process using Erlang mechanism for distribuited
processing?
This way, you simply connect to the couchdb as a node, and talk
straight to couch, bypassing all the json encoding and decoding
(this is particularly important for me because I have to serve large
files).
Any suggestion where to look to try to implement such a functionality?
Also, I think that exposing an erlang API could be the first step
implementing partitioning.
