It's hard to say when the full discussion would have taken place. The decision to make the CouchDB API invariant no matter the number of nodes supporting a database is basically what drew me to the project in the first place. I can't speak for the other committers, but I agree with the vision of CouchDB as database that can scale to any number of host nodes while presenting the same API to its clients. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
