CouchDB Limitations: Impedance Mismatch with CouchDB
Andrew Brehaut contributing to the list of possible CouchDB improvements:
However, despite the ease at which the core logic is able to be implemented, I have run into a number of issues that cause me to be exceedingly hesitant to recommend couch to another developer, or to consider using on another project of my own. There are 4 major points that I will examine in more detail:
- Limits on querying.
- Reduce function limits.
- Decomposing and reusing view logic.
- Cached views.
Indeed, “decomposing and reusing view logic” seems to be the one that could use some love. I can see a couple of possible improvements:
- supporting common JS libraries (probably in the form of design document attachments, so they can be replicated)
- supporting additional data access functions (this might not be the easiest to implement as it would require more bidirectional CouchDB to JS engine communication)
- supporting ☞ web linking as a simplified/standardized solution for the above
