The blame falls on the people who wrote the API to be this misinterpretable. The problem wouldn’t occur if the field were called change_time.

For those interested, here is the script I used to do these tests:

It is a thing of expedience rather than beauty. The batch bulk load mentioned at the end is not in this script and is left as an exercise for the reader

I second the request. I’m just beginning to get interested in CouchDB and I prefer to stay with Ruby. It is really helpful to learn from working code!

Great post. It would be nice to see the code you used for these performance tests… any chance you could make it available?

> The hardest part here was figuring out that you have to require ‘rubygems’ to use gems. If Ruby can find rubygems after I install it and if I call gem install as root, why can’t Ruby find those packages without additional help?

Ruby gems isn’t part of the standard ruby distribution yet; it’s just an external library. As such Ruby core doesn’t know anything about it till you tell it. Gem is slated to be added to the standard library soon (1.9?) but until then you have to require it explicitly.
