This article will soon become outdated: CouchDB 2.0 is in release candidate stage, and will soon be released. It features built-in and automatic sharding and clustering and a new, MongoDB-inspired document query language...and lots of small improvements as well.

For more information, read the excellent blog posts from their official blog: https://blog.couchdb.org/

I'm also very curious about CouchDB 2.0 and whether CouchDB will be able to make a comeback. When I talked to Adam Kocoloski about a year ago, I got the impression that it takes a very good technical approach (consistent hashing, causal hash histories, MongoDB queries, etc.). However, the implementation is now mainly driven by Cloudant and CouchDB kept alive by them. I hope they manage to rekindle the old fascination they once had.

In any case I will be happy to update the article and include it.

Anyone looking for more information in CouchDB 2 redundancy should check out this article: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/cluster/theory.html

(Ignore that it's under /en/1.6.1, built-in clustering is 2+ only.)

I'm really excited about CouchDB 2.0.
