Creating an Erlang Client for Couch Base Server 1.8 and 2.0

We used Couchbase Server in our product. This is an Intranet application, the front of which is pure JavaScript. However, we use Erlang / OTP for business logic, authentication ( Mnesia ), the yaws web server and many other erlang libraries.

Now we are still using the Couch Base Single Server , the download of which has been removed from the Couch base site . We found it very stable. At present, after 5 months of running, he has never fallen. We run it on top of Ubuntu Server. So, our interest in NoSQL is just beginning.

However, since I also asked here about Erlang Client support for the Couch base server, I found that they say:

  Couchbase Server is memcached compatible .  This means many existing memcached 
  client libraries and in many cases, the applications already using these 
  libraries, may be used directly with Couchbase Server
So I started looking for these memcached compatible libraries and found a bunch of them: at Google code , Erlang Mc , erlmc , mcache , memcached-client and finally OneCached By Process One (Ejjabberd XMPP Server Manufacturers) . With my big goal (if possible), to implement my own client for Couch Base Server 1.8 and 2.0, the question is:

1. Which of the above Erlang memcached client libraries is suitable for use with Couchbase 1.8 and 2.0?

2. If it is compatible, can I use it directly, or do I need to make some changes first? please explain the changes?

3. Does anyone out there feel the need for Erlang customer support for Couch Base 2.0 and 1.8, just like us? How do they deal with this problem?

I would appreciate if the Couch Base insider had a membership here in stackoverflow, tell us if the Couch base team has plans to build us Erlang client, perhaps in the near future so that we don’t waste time on it, since they able to create a much better and more effective client on our own server than we can.

Thank you all

Couchbase has no plans to release an erlang client in the near future. We use Erlang in our product and really like Erlang, but we do not have time to assemble an Erlang client at the moment. If you are interested in developing an Erlang client, we will certainly be happy to help you and answer any of your questions. If you send me an email (see My profile), I will help you contact someone at Couchbase who can help answer questions and get started on development.

In addition, I am not an Erlang user, so I cannot answer any of your questions regarding Ercang memcached libraries. Hope someone can help you.

I tried erlmc. I use it heavily for storing 32-bit binaries, and so far it has worked perfectly.
