It seems an unofficial patch, isn't it?

couchdb-lounge is a full third party project on top of CouchDB, not a patch.


The CouchDB description states that it is a distributed db. So shouldn't it
integrate a distribution engine to spare databases on many servers?

There are different understandings of "distributed". CouchDB's idea is that distributing full data sets between nodes is an equally valid use-case (and
IMHO a much more common one).

That said, Adam already said CouchDB will have partitioning and it's
a good thing :)

I am collecting information and doing some proofs-of-concept in
preparation for suggesting CouchDB as a replacement for a 20-year- old house-developed document system. One topic I will need to address goes
like this:

(1) How big can one CouchDB database file get?


Unlimited, although performance will get ugly once the indexes don't fit in
RAM.


(2) How could I store one CouchDB logical database across multiple disks
or machines?


Multiple disks: RAID

Multiple machines: CouchDB-Lounge (not yet fully 0.10 compatible, but
they're working on it)
