Hi, I'm interested in any experiences people may have had with couch reading and writing many records at the same time and what kind of pitfalls there may be regarding the possible contention of records/documents I'm intending to write some small benchmarks, but I was wondering if anyone had seen any problems previously.
Sorry, a late reply. In a nutshell, if you expect a lot of writes to a single
logical piece of data, it makes sense to split up the piece into several documents, a new one per write and using views to fetch all related docs for your entity in one go. On a lower level, lightning-speed can be achieved if you keep your harddrive head writing without seeks. For that you want a big enough FS cache to serve your read requests and potentially an HTTP cache in front of CouchDB for additional speedups. Cheers Jan --
