| ## fabric |
| |
| Fabric is a collection of proxy functions for [CouchDB][1] operations in a cluster. These functions are used in CouchDB as the remote procedure endpoints on each of the cluster nodes. |
| |
| For example, creating a database is a straightforward task in CouchDB 1.x, but for a clustered CouchDB, each node that will store a shard for the database needs to receive and execute a fabric function. The node handling the request also needs to compile the results from each of the nodes and respond accordingly to the client. |
| |
| Fabric is used in conjunction with 'Rexi' which is also an application within CouchDB. |
| |
| ### Getting Started |
| Fabric requires R13B03 or higher and can be built with [rebar][3]. |
