Anyway so the tool should be in erlang ? I take it. I would like if
possible to not rely in http api for this one and just add a function
that could be used in erlang shell and then call by any script.
The tool could also be written as a couchjs script, which could just
put the data to stdout. However, that would be using the HTTP api.
(couchjs could use a little work to make command-line arguments
available in the runtime, but even without changing it should be
possible to build a proof-of-concept)
Backup/Restore are trivial to write, and an Erlang plugin will be easy
- it could respond with a tar or zip format stream over HTTP. The
reverse could happen for restore, although I've had problems with
Couch accepting chunked format input, which you would want. I've not
checked whether Couch fully streams in both directions.
Anyway, I have a commercial requirement for this, so I'll do it unless
someone else gets there before me.
