Add option to run CouchDB with Erlang's profiling tools
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-93
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-93
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Reporter: Jan Lehnardt
Assignee: Jan Lehnardt
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.0
Erlang comes with a set of code coverage and profiling tools that can be
helpful to track down performance problems as well as performance regressions
over time. It would be nice if it would be easy to profile CouchDB with these
tools.
coverage needs a different build, so --with-coverage makes sense.
Profiling does not need a recompilation and would best
served (IMHO) as couchdb --profile-function-calls and --profile-function-times
or however that would be integrated into the command.
couchdb --profile=function-calls --profile=function-call-times
--profile=function-fall-times-cpu or have some way to pass
options down to the profiler, you get the idea, some way of
specifying at runtime how to profile CouchDB.
