Lounge

The Lounge was originally written by Kevin Ferguson (macfergus), Vijay Ragunathan (lukatmyshu) and Shaun Lindsay (srlindsay) at Meebo.com. There are two main pieces:

• dumbproxy: An NGINX module to handle simple gets/puts for everything that isn't a view.
• smartproxy: A python/twisted daemon that handles mapping/reducing view requests to all shards in the cluster.

As well as an assortment of smaller scripts and whatnot. If anyone feels like packaging couchdb-lounge for some of the major distros, that would be awesome.

Dependencies

• json-c (v0.7 tested) is required for json parsing in C
• python-cjson (v1.0.5+) is required for now although support for other python json modules will likely appear
• smartproxy requires Twisted (v8.1+)

And of course, CouchDB. Currently, a patch is required to CouchDB to allow design-only replication although this will be changed in the near future to use built-in replication filters.
