## IMPORTANT NOTE: BigCouch is no longer supported by Cloudant

## Overview

BigCouch is a highly available, fault-tolerant, clustered, mostly api-compliant

version of [Apache CouchDB][1]. While it appears to the end-user as one CouchDB

instance, it is in fact one or more BigCouch nodes in an elastic cluster,

acting in concert to store and retrieve documents, index and serve views, and

serve CouchApps. BigCouch has been developed and is continually maintained by

[Cloudant][2].

Clusters behave according to concepts outlined in [Amazon's Dynamo paper][4],

namely that each BigCouch node can accept requests, data is placed on

partitions based on a consistent hashing algorithm, and quorum protocols are

used for read/write operations.

BigCouch is made available under an Apache 2.0 license. See the LICENSE file

for details.

## Getting Started
