Terrastore - Scalable, elastic, consistent document store

The description given on their Google Code page seems a bit sensationalistic to me. The author has a bit more reasonable look at the features and tradeoffs here: <a href="http://sbtourist.blogspot.com/2009/12/terrastore-and-cap-theorem.html" rel="nofollow">http://sbtourist.blogspot.com/2009/12/terrastore-and-cap-the...</a>

It looks like the complement to CouchDB: it actually implements all the hard distributed stuff that CouchDB never delivered on, but doesn't implement any of the fancy stored procedure stuff that CouchDB actually pulled off.<p>If only I could have the chocolate <i>and</i> the peanut butter together...

I wonder how much of that he got almost-for-free just by using Terracotta?<p>Terracotta itself is in effect a transparent ACID object database where collections can be larger than RAM and objects can be accessed efficiently on one machine or shared and updated in implicit transactions.

At first glance it seems like a java version of couchDB on top of a clustering system.

Sounds like this is a lot more closer to MongoDB than CouchDB. Either way, I warmly welcome this to the document store world
