I have a similar issue.  I am interested in using CouchDB to host a 200+ =
GB database that will receive well over 200 million documents per day.  =
Moreover, the data must roll out - i.e., constant background purging - =
and also support UI queries.  And this is just a starting point to match =
the abilities of the relational database we are already running.  I will =
want the DB to scale up from there.

If there is no hope of the CouchDB being able to handle all of that - =
regardless of how many machines we deploy - I would like to know that =
now before I look any further into this project.

Does anyone have a reasonable idea about whether CouchDB will be capable =
of such massive scalability or how many machines it would take to scale =
that large?

I would appreciate any feedback that anyone might have on this.

Jonathan
