I am very impressed with couchbase 2.0 and i am using it as the backend for my ios app wtih tornado sitting in the middle. My question is that my app will be using geolocation to show users points of interest around them and i wanted to know whether couchbase 2.0 could handle spatial indexing or should i use mongo for this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi nashequilibrium

Spatial indexes are a part of Couchbase Server 2.0, however, they are experimental in this release and will not be supported. But depending on your application, if you are using the community edition, do try out the functionality. We are always looking feedback from our users.

Documentation can be found here: http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.0/couchbase-views-writi...

and TapMap is a nice example app that uses geo indexes:

Hope this helps.
