Hello,
Same operation in MongoDb takes 7 seconds.
CouchDb fails after 30 minutes with only 94% inserts successful

Am sure, it's 1 line
self.db.database(self.db_name).save_bulk(data)
Where data is a list of dictionaries, each with 6 members of short
length strings

Hi,
Could you share the code that you have been using to insert your
data? It doesn't have to be your whole codebase, just the part the
takes care of the inserts would be enough.

Hi,
working around the timeout is the easy part. the problem is that
it took
30 minutes and that is not acceptable
Compared to the rest of the solutions I have, it's not even the same
ball park.
Is there no way to turn off revisions or pick my own indexes ?
It would also seem to write to the disk a lot.
