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.

Buckets and servers


You already have an idea about buckets from the first chapter. You can view its features from the web console as shown in the following screenshot:

Bucket overiew

The Servers section provides some hints on how many nodes there are in the cluster, how many servers have a failed status, and whether there are any servers that require rebalancing after joining the cluster.

The Data Buckets view provides two graphs showing the operations per second and disk fetches per second.

Server nodes

When you click on the Server Nodes tab, you will be shown the system resources usage by all nodes that are part of the cluster. You can expand an individual node and view its details.

System resources by node

You will find a warning that displays on the screen stating that the cluster requires...
