We are storing our data types in each of its database in couchdb. What sort of format will the config file have to import data from multiple databases? Or do I need to have multiple config files for importing data from each database to an index. Will appreciate any help.

Thanks.

You need a config per DB.  
These can be in their own files or the one, LS will know what to do.
