Package couchdb: Information

CouchDB is a peer based distributed database system. Any number of CouchDB hosts
(servers and offline-clients) can have independent "replica copies" of the same database,
where applications have full database interactivity (query, add, edit, delete).
When back online or on a schedule, database changes are replicated bi-directionally.

CouchDB has built-in conflict detection and management and the replication process is
incremental and fast, copying only documents and individual fields changed since the
previous replication. Most applications require no special planning to take advantage
of distributed updates and replication.

Unlike cumbersome attempts to bolt distributed features on top of the same legacy models
and databases, it is the result of careful ground-up design, engineering and integration.
The document, view, security and replication models, the special purpose query language,
the efficient and robust disk layout are all carefully integrated for a reliable and
efficient system.
