Hi all, We're building a BigCouch cluster with three nice, new servers with around 32GB of RAM. These will be dedicated database servers, so all they'll do is run, compute and serve our CouchDB backend.
Looking at them in production, however, they aren't using anywhere near the amount of RAM there is available to them. Is this a conscious design decision - to keep everything on-disk instead of in-memory? Is there any way CouchDB can be configured in a "memory-hungry" mode? We're not bound by CPU, and would quite like to see if we can unlock some performance gains by using in-memory instead of on-disk data. Thanks, Martin
