I am at peace with my cookies.

We didn't publish to Maven Central. It's not a library, but I guess we could publish there. Thanks for the suggestion.

Built on Lucene 4.6.1, yes.

Disclosure: I work for Cloudant. There are two libraries outlined in the blog:

Clouseau, in Scala: https://github.com/cloudant-labs/clouseau Dreyfus, in Erlang: https://github.com/cloudant-labs/dreyfus

It's a huge place, but I agree with ahoff, having come over along with the Cloudant acquisition. I feel pretty good about our little corner of IBM in CDS (cloud data services). It's not a bad place to end up if you're at a data management startup.

An interview we did with https://twitter.com/lancecarlson and https://twitter.com/ebzovi on rewriting their ruby app to use Cloudant's JSON doc store service. Flexible schema, and user permissioning implemented as a CouchApp.

Here's the email that Cloudant's CTO sent to Apache CouchDB:

SUBJECT: Cloudant & IBM: Our Commitment to Apache CouchDB

Apache CouchDB means a great deal to me, and to Cloudant as a company. Cloudant and CouchDB have grown alongside each other over the past several years in one of the more authentic vendor/community collaborations I can think of in Apache history. Today marks the next step in Cloudant’s growth as we enter into a definitive agreement to become part of IBM.

What does this mean for CouchDB? I would not have agreed to this transaction if I had any concerns about Cloudant’s ability to continue its contributions and collaboration with Apache CouchDB. IBM has a strong track record in open source software and a productive relationship with Apache; in fact, IBM was instrumental in bringing CouchDB to the ASF many years ago. IBM is fully supportive of our efforts here, and I’m looking forward to bringing increased resources to bear in support of the project.

CouchDB has the potential to shape the future of distributed data management and computing. 2013 was a year of tremendous progress, as we doubled our committer base and shipped no fewer than eight releases. Already in 2014 we’ve seen amazing progress on long-standing initiatives to enhance the core of the system. The timing is right — in the market and for the community — to take the next big step forward. With your help, that is exactly what we will do.

Truly, the future of CouchDB is CouchDB.

So then does this mean that PostgreSQL is to SQL like CouchDB is to NoSQL?

We hear similar stories from the field here at Cloudant. Distributed databases, scaling clusters -- that's hard stuff. Nice to see such a thoughtful post.
