Zach, I haven't tested this at all, but the only way you could affect CouchDB in an update notifier would be if you didn't read from stdin often enough. Eventually (I'm pretty sure) the Erlang process that's sending notifications would block on the write. After a given amount of time (default is 5 seconds IIRC) the Erlang process would receive a timeout error from the os_process module.
I think, caveats apply, untested, etc etc. Paul Davis On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 4:26 PM, Zachary Zolton <[email protected]> wrote: > Devs, > > Does an update notifier script cause any processing in CouchDB to > block, other than subsequent update notifications? > > > Cheers, > > Zach >
