This looks great to me, thanks for capturing it here! The actual
hashing of docids and merging of view queries will probably not be the
hard part. I expect the hard part to be configuration and management
of nodes across machines, as well as communication between nodes.

There has been some work to make CouchDB more OTP-like (having trouble
finding links...) and I think doing that first could make the rest of
this job much easier.

Thinking we should move this conversation to dev@ to ensure we get the
right people's attention. ('scuse the cross-post.)
