Jonathan Ellis ’ started up a storm when he posted an entry about CouchDB about 6 months ago. He questioned some of CouchDB’s claims and made an attempt to warn users who don’t understand practical issues around CoughDB very well. After reading his post and some comments, it looked like he was specifically concerned about CouchDB’s ability to distribute/scale a growing database automatically. Its a good read if you are curious. He has stopped accepting comments on his blog, but that shouldn’t stop you from commenting here. As Jan pointed out in the comments Jonathan is assuming “distributed” means “auto-scaling” which is not true. -- links from the blog.. Cassandra   dynomite   Sawzall   Pig
