We find that we cannot flush data in 2.0beta but we can do it in 1.8. Therefore, We suppose we cannot use 2.0 to run our business. But ver 1.8 has no GUI query tool to get key list and their values like Rockmongo for MongoDB. It's so inconvenient to use it. Although, we DO really like the speed to read and write and the easy way to scale the database.

You can enable flush by doing the following:

./cbstats localhost:11210 set flush_param flushall_enabled true'

This is required to enable bucket flushing in 1.8.1+.

Hi Derek,

Just to address the question from the subject line, as you may know we recently released the 2.0 beta about 3 weeks ago. Right now, we're responding to feedback and addressing any critical issues which are raised plus a handful of minor things including a feature to allow you to enable flush through the web console and execute it if needed.

So, please check out the beta, and post any feedback to us. The GA will be along before the end of the year. Feel free to email matt at couchbase if you want to discuss it further, including how it fits in with your deployment plans.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi ingenthr,

What is the GA? You mean the stable version?

I'm considering using Couchbase as our only database to act as a clustered memcached server and a clustered database. As for the memcached server, Couchbase is great. But for the database, Couchbase 1.8 is lack of some important tools and 2.0 is still in beta. I'm in a dilemma to make the decision.

BTW, We're developing a social game which will be released at the end of this November. Originally, we are using Couchbase as memcached server and MongoDB as database.

Thanks,

Derek

Hello Derek,

1. GA means "General availability", this is the stable/production version.

2. You are correct, the "flush bucket" feature is not part of the 2.0 Beta, but will be part of the GA (see http://www.couchbase.com/issues/browse/MB-5170 )

3. You are saying that you are using Couchbase as cache and MongoDB as database, do you have specific reason to not using Couchbase for the persistence too?

Regards
Tug

Hi tgrall,

Thank you for your answers.

The reasons that we hesitate to use Couchbase for the persistence is there's no GUI tool to manage data in Couchbase 1.8 and Couchbase 2.0 is still in Beta. We've ever considered to develop our own tool to manage user data in Couchbase 1.8. But we found that there's no API to get the data bucket list and item list in the certain data bucket. And also it costs time. But for online game, we have the need to modify user data easily. For MongoDB, we can use RockMongo. But for Couchbase, we have no tools.

Thanks
Derek
