I have a similar issue. I am interested in using CouchDB to host a 200+ GB database that will receive well over 200 million documents per day. Moreover, the data must roll out - i.e., constant background purging - and also support UI queries. And this is just a starting point to match the abilities of the relational database we are already running. I will want the DB to scale up from there.
If there is no hope of the CouchDB being able to handle all of that - regardless of how many machines we deploy - I would like to know that now before I look any further into this project. Does anyone have a reasonable idea about whether CouchDB will be capable of such massive scalability or how many machines it would take to scale that large? I would appreciate any feedback that anyone might have on this.
