[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "ConfiguringDistributedSystems" by DaleJohnson

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by DaleJohnson:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/ConfiguringDistributedSystems

New page:
This is a stub for a page to discuss how to actually get couchdb running in a distributed fashion.

 * I see that there is replication via the 'replication' functionality on the http://localhost:5984/_utils console interface, but how does one distribute a database across, say 10 hosts?
 * Is there a way to specify the number of copies of a piece of data?  (Presumes not all hosts have copies of each piece of data)
 * Is there a piece of this that can be configured in the couch.ini file, such than when the topology changes (ie. server add or removal) that things can be put back into sync?
