No. Keep in mind that Couchbase is a for-profit company, the server is our 
revenue source (enterprise licenses, support contracts, consulting, custom 
development, etc.) and Mongo is our major competitor.

You can use Apache CouchDB on the back end, largely because the Couchbase Lite 
architecture and replication protocol are based on CouchDB's so they've been 
compatible since day one. (You lose a lot of the features you get with Sync 
Gateway, though, like channels and fine-grained access control.)

I don't think that's what Raheel was asking about. Doing this with bucket 
shadowing would involve significant development work on the Sync Gateway, and 
you'd end up running the Gateway and Couchbase Server on the back end, as well 
as Mongo.
