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?
This sounds like a scenario that CouchDB will ultimately be able to
handle nicely. I don't think we can give out any guarantees about when
an how this will be the case. Maintaining a 200+GB data set would
require
quite some hand-wiring at the moment.
I would appreciate any feedback that anyone might have on this.
I think Damien can chime in here :) Damien?
Cheers

What are the largest known production DBs in CouchDB?
I'm loading ~3M documents into a database that'll be probably
around 10GB
and then grow from there. So not very much data, but inserting and
updating
views is much slower than I expected (or thought they were in tests
on
earlier versions, is that possible?)
