Dear couchdb developers and users,

I’m new to couchdb & pouchdb and I’m looking forward to some comments to the 
following problem:

I want to setup a couchdb service in the cloud and provide an SDK to my users 
for them to use in their apps. They can also use pouchdb as a local replication 
of their data. An important part of the SDK is the query interface. I want it 
to be developer-friendly as much as possible. The map/reduce API is too complex 
for developers with no similar experience. After some investigation, I think 
maybe [pouchdb-find](https://github.com/nolanlawson/pouchdb-find 
<https://github.com/nolanlawson/pouchdb-find>) is worth to try. Its mongodb 
like query language is more intuitive in my mind.

My questions are:

1. Pouchdb-find is still in beta and its documents says "This API is modeled 
after the Cloudant query API 
<https://docs.cloudant.com/api/cloudant-query.html>, soon to be merged into 
CouchDB 2.0.”  Is the support already merged into couchdb 2.0? What’s the 
delivery plan for couchdb 2.0? Is it to safe to switch to 2.0 now?

2. I want the query interface to be “couch & pouch” transparent: the same query 
API would be used for both local pouchdb and remote couchdb. I suppose this is 
not a problem. Am I right?

Any comments would be much appreciated.

-Ying
