Learning Couchbase

By: Henry Potsangbam

Overview of this book

This book achieves its goal by taking up an end-to-end development structure, right from understanding NOSQL document design to implementing full fledged eCommerce application design using Couchbase as a backend. Starting with the architecture of Couchbase to get you up and running, this book quickly takes you through designing a NoSQL document and implementing highly scalable applications using Java API. You will then be introduced to document design and get to know the various ways to administer Couchbase. Followed by this, learn to store documents using bucket. Moving on, you will then learn to store, retrieve and delete documents using smart client base on Java API. You will then retrieve documents using SQL like syntax call N1QL. Next, you will learn how to write map reduce base views. Finally, you will configure XDCR for disaster recovery and implement an eCommerce application using Couchbase.

The web admin UI

Now, let's understand and explore the main administrative web user interface provided for managing Couchbase clusters. It provides a complete interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring Couchbase clusters.

Some of the main functionalities it provides are as follows:

  • The administrator can view the overall health of the Couchbase cluster

  • The administrator can create data buckets, perform configuration, and modify various properties related to buckets

  • The administrator can view active nodes, their configuration, and perform overall operations in the cluster

The web UI provides various tabs that can be used to view cluster information, details of the server nodes, information about data buckets, view configuration, the configuration options for XDCR (for data replication), logging and setting of the cluster name, and so on.

The web admin UI - the settings tab

The Cluster Overview section provides an overview of the Couchbase cluster status. It's the home page of the web console...
