CouchDB using sequential ID's, yet being able to instantly determine ID based on content.
Couchdb exhibits extremely beneficial performance gains by using sequential ID's. However, there is something to be said for being able to instantaneously "know" the ID of an object simply by looking at the content (for example hashing a user name into an ID).
How can I more or less achieve the convenience of the hashed ID, yet the performance gains of sequential ID's.
