Explanation:
The ledger system in Hyperledger fabric uses levelDB. By definition, LevelDB allows concurrent writers to safely insert data into the database by providing internal synchronization. LevelDB uses very coarse- grained synchronization which forces all writes to proceed in an ordered, first-come-first-served basis, effectively reduces throughput to a single thread. State database options include LevelDB and CouchDB.
LevelDB is the default key-value state database embedded in the peer process. CouchDB is an optional alternative external state database. Like the LevelDB key-value store, CouchDB can store any binary data that is modeled in chaincode (CouchDB attachment functionality is used internally for non-JSON binary data). But as a JSON document store, CouchDB additionally enables rich query against the chaincode data, when chaincode values (e.g. assets) are modeled as JSON data.
