How to connect to CouchBase with ogr2ogr?

Question

I am trying to load a Shapefile to CouchBase (version: 2.5.0 DEV edition, installed on Ubuntu), but with no success. According to this documentation it is possible like this:

ogr2ogr -f couchdb "couchdb:http://some_account.some_couchdb_server.com" shapefile.shp

so I tried like this:

ogr2ogr -f couchdb "couchdb:http://localhost:8092" shapefile.shp

or

ogr2ogr -f couchdb "couchdb:http://localhost:8092/osm" shapefile.shp

(where osm is an existing databucket) and also with permissions:

ogr2ogr -lco UPDATE_PERMISSIONS=ALL -f couchdb couchdb:http://localhost:8092 shapefile.shp

then I tried simply to connect:

ogrinfo -ro "couchdb:http://localhost:8092"

which gives me the error:

FAILURE: Unable to open datasource 'couchdb:http://localhost:8092' with the following drivers. [list of drivers including couchdb]

I also tried 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and also with port 8091 (and every combination of these).

Can anyone verify that the couchdb ogr2ogr driver is working? And if yes, what am I doing wrong? Maybe the problem is that it is CouchBase instead of CouchDB?
My GDAL version is 2.0.0dev
I am grateful for any suggestions.

Couchbase is not Apache CouchDB compatible, hence the OGR driver doesn't work. AFAIK there's currently no OGR driver for Couchbase.
