apache/couchdb

Apache CouchDB is a distributed, schema-free document-oriented database that manages data as JSON documents. It provides a robust HTTP/JSON API for data access, supporting multiple JavaScript engines (SpiderMonkey, QuickJS) for server-side logic and Map/Reduce views. The system features a pluggable architecture with an extensible plugin interface, enabling modular components for search (Dreyfus, Mango, Nouveau), replication, and monitoring. It includes comprehensive tooling for CI/CD, testing, and cluster management.

This period focused on restructuring CouchDB into a modular, cluster-aware architecture, introducing dedicated applications for replication, indexing, and HTTP handling. The work established foundational components for shard management, remote procedure calls, and configuration hot-reloading, while also integrating modern tooling for code formatting and testing.

This period focused on modernizing CouchDB's architecture by introducing the extensible EPI plugin system and the new 'nouveau' query engine for improved performance. Significant effort was also dedicated to enhancing test coverage, particularly by porting the test suite to Elixir and expanding EUnit tests across core components like logging, storage, and replication.

42 changes

This period focused on expanding CouchDB's capabilities with the introduction of the Nouveau full-text search engine, the Ken indexing server, and the QuickJS JavaScript engine. It also added critical security features like the jwtf JWT library and TLS-secured node communication, alongside new diagnostic and monitoring tools such as the weatherreport utility and Prometheus metrics integration.

33 changes

This period focused on the introduction of the Nouveau search engine as an experimental feature, including its core API, Lucene-based implementation, and associated unit tests. Concurrently, the project improved file I/O performance with a native C module and expanded test coverage for the Mango database module in Elixir.
