Hi,
I'm doing some initial tests with CouchDB, trying to store 2^32 IP addresses (approximately 4.3 billions of documents).
Documents have only required fields: _id and _rev, but I've noticed that the minimum space occupied by each document is approximately 3.7KB, so I need +14TB disk space only for the basic scheme without any extra field (using IP as unique identifier in integer format).
Note that playing with a simple Python script and a binary data file, this data can be stored in 16GB space (each IP 4 = bytes * 2 ^32 addresses).
Is it possible to optimize the disk space for what I'm trying to do using CouchDB? Perhaps disabling "something", compressing, or changing _rev field format/size.. thanks!!
I haver read the manual for CouchDB perfomance, but I didn't get it: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Performance Regards, -- Santi Saez http://woop.es
