A fews things I wanted out of CouchDB years back: - faster bulk indexing - space reduction, I think a simple couchdb to psql json was 1/10th of size - ES6 or even ES5 - * its been a few years since I last looked but I remember you had to tread carefully - Object.keys maybe was one?

When I started with CouchDB it wrong choice for so many reasons, client had <30gb of data, couchdb was cooler than node.js, and I was frustrated with SQL Server. In hindsight sticking with SQL Server or Postgresql would of been better - older/wiser today.



> - faster bulk indexing

With clustering you now get that. By way of “oversharding” even on a single node. Speed up is linear with number of shards / CPUs

> - space reduction,

2.0 has the better compaction format. There are still ways to improve, but we are getting there.

> - ES6 or even ES5

Our custom wrapper around Spidermonkey 185 is getting long in the tooth. It didn’t make it into 2.0, but we are well aware that this needs updating.

Anyway, sounds like we got there in the end ;)
