Hi Adam! Thanks for replying. Yes, i got a gist of it. Haven't read upon BigCouch. Must do that now.
Overall, do you think this feature addition is very complicated? I cannot say i'm an expert in coding so making sure i don't take up a feature which is very difficult to implement. Also, your thoughts on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1751 ? I believe giving some stats to third party application like Graphite etc,.?
