Hey- I'd like to write a program to upload data into several documents in a database, but first I want to ask a few questions to see how I should go about it:
1. I started toying around with jcouchdb, a java API that I found. Is there a "better" language to work with? Do you think writing in JavaScript might be more efficient? Or are there other libraries and APIs worth looking into that more people are using/updating? 2. Has anyone else written any mass-upload programs? I was thinking about writing a map-reduce job on top of Hadoop because I've been playing around with hadoop for a while. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or better yet, example code? Thanks a lot for your time! Mark Vigeant RiskMetrics Group, Inc.
