+ || '''Description''' || ''This work would provide a direct interface to CouchDB.  It could be used by, e.g., wpart_* interfaces from Erlang-Web, or by appmods in YAWS.  It would interface directly to the CouchDB Erlang layer using Erlang term(), not JSON conversions.  There would be no HTTP involved, only direct Erlang message passing or fun calls to/from CouchDB.  If a message passing design is used, distributed access to one or more CouchDB nodes may be simplified (e.g. a cluster of web servers accessing one or more CouchDB nodes).  Interface should minimally provide same functionality as that available to view servers or via HTTP interface and allow for maintenance to keep parity when new functionality is added.  Since modifications/additions of CouchDB source is involved, additional value could be added by providing another interface to couch_query_servers which can pass lists of documents rather than a single document (to view servers and via the Erlang interface).  T!
 his would allow parallel map functions to run on subsets of the list provided by couch_query_servers. couch_query_server could dynamically check memory and adjust the number of documents sent.'' ||
