Using CouchDB for storing binary files

[Sriharsha Setty <sr...@gmail.com>]

Hello CouchDB users,

I am evaluating CouchDB as a file store for a web-application that will
store JPEG images, audio and video files with their meta-data respectively.
I wish to index these files (documents) based on the meta-data and retrieve
them when necessary.

Does any body use CouchDB for purposes such as binary file storage and
retrieval?  If yes, what are your experiences? How does such a setup scale
for huge databases (let us say tens of terabytes)?

Thanks in advance,
harsha

I have database with small .ogg-files (about 20-80kb each). Every document
consists of 1-5 attachments. There are about 2.6M documents in database.
Total size is ~60GB. I have no problems with scalability from 1k to 1m of
such documents. CouchDB is still up and running find (with about ~0% of
everage cpu load).
