CouchDB is human readable where Lucene is computer readable.
Thats my best guess.
Search though thousands of CouchDB records is CPU/Memory intensive
where using Lucene is less.

understand that Lucene can be used as the full text search engine for
CouchDB.
My question is more in terms of understanding the difference between
them.
Lucene itself is a document storage with many of the same semantics as
CouchDB.
CouchDB has views and replication, which Lucene doesn't have.
Can anyone clear the difference between them?
