How to Move from MySQL to Couchbase Server 2.0: Part 1

If you have a database built using MySQL, you might be wondering if, and more importantly how, that database (and your application) can be moved to Couchbase.

GeoCouch: Bulk Insertion

The new release of GeoCouch improves the spatial index building time a lot (up to 10x). This comes from using a new bulk insertion algorithm.
