3. BaseCouch Is… a little HTTP listener written in Go (~2500LOC; my first Go program!) that understands a subset of CouchDB’s REST API: For pull: _changes, GET doc … For push: _revs_diff, _bulk_docs … and stores CouchDB docs in Couchbase Thursday, October 25, 12
4. BaseCouch Is Not… a full CouchDB-compatible server (no views, no replicator, other API bits missing) a way to make Couchbase databases accessible through CouchDB Thursday, October 25, 12
5. IT HAZ A SCHEMA LET ME SHOW U IT… Thursday, October 25, 12
6. Schema: Database {“name”: “demodb”, “docPrefix”: “doc:demodb/A9FF:”} cdb:demodb 232 seq:demodb Thursday, October 25, 12
7. Schema: Document {“id”: “sample-doc”, “rev”: “3-cfsdklaeip”, “sequence”: 231, “history”: { “revs”: [...], “parents”: [...], “keys”: [...], “deleted”: [...] } } doc:demodb/A9FF:sample-doc parent 2-9#f(Jq key sha1-X*@! deleted false 3-cfsdklaeip Conceptually, “history” is a map: Thursday, October 25, 12
