I still trying to understand it's limits and abilities, and I haven't been able to find anything that definitively answers this question for me. It seems to me that couchdb is not really what one would call a distributed database. You can replicate a database to different nodes (computers) and sync them, but view computation is not distributed like google's MapReduce is. Is this correct? Thanks, Jim
