couchbase/geocouch
This system is a geospatial extension for CouchDB and Couchbase that enables spatial indexing and querying capabilities. It introduces a new vtree-based spatial index structure and provides modules for handling spatial data, including WKB/GeoJSON conversion and spatial view management. The system supports both Apache CouchDB and Couchbase, with build configurations for each, and includes comprehensive test suites for spatial operations.

How it got here
2011 · Build system migration and legacy code removal
The project transitioned its build infrastructure from a custom Makefile to CMake, enabling parallel builds for Couchbase and CouchDB targets. Concurrently, the codebase was cleaned up by removing deprecated spatial query handlers, the vtree visualization module, and associated test suites.

2014–2015 · spatial indexing implementation
This period focused on implementing spatial indexing capabilities for both Apache CouchDB and Couchbase, introducing a new vtree data structure and WKB conversion library. The work included building the core spatial query and index management modules, alongside comprehensive test suites to validate the new functionality.

About this page
- The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
- The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 1 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit 68f3b9d366 — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
