Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1578:
----------------------------------------
the .couch file does not need to be edited. It would just need to be renamed
(foo to shards/00000000-ffffffff/foo.12345.couch) and a doc created in the
"dbs" database to point to it.
> migration tool from non-sharded 1.3.0 CouchDB to sharded / merged CouchDB +
> BigCouch integrated

> Key: COUCHDB-1578
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1578
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber
>
> The current DB layout in CouchDB & BigCouch are largely similar, but an
> efficient and fast method needs to be found for sharding the single-file
> CouchDB files in preparation for a robust migration to a fully sharded setup.
> This might encompass any or none of the following:
> - direct manipulation of .couch files (fast, potentially risky)
> - working solely over HTTP API (slow, low risk)
