Collections and Scopes
Collections & Scopes are new concepts in the Couchbase server added for organizational purposes.
A Collection is a logical data container within a bucket. These collections contain several documents. Documents can be categorized based on, say content types, i.e documents of similar content-type together form a Collection.
For example, within a bucket that contains trip booking information, documents that relate specifically to Car might be assigned to a car collection, while documents that relate to Driver might be assigned to a driver collection, and so on.
