This is the result of months hanging on IRC picking up one piece of information at a time from the devs and one day wrestling with CouchDB. I am sending this to the list, hoping that it will be useful to someone. Please tell if you see an error or you have a question that was not answered.
https://github.com/mar-ia/couchdb-crazy If that name does not make you think twice about running the master of a database under development using the instructions from someone on the Internet, then I do not know what will ;) Expect things to go wrong in spectacular ways. Sounds like fun? Well then, get popcorn, some servers and let's go! Section 1: 01-setup 02-installation 03-deploy How to build a cluster of physical firewalled machines, or running all the nodes on a single computer. Section 2: 04-use 05-sharding Takes the cluster for a spin. Add nodes, remove nodes, move shards. Explains what n,q,r and w are. TL;DR Wait for the final release. // Maria
