Adam Kocoloski updated COUCHDB-449:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: delayed_commits_v1.patch
Here's a patch to make delayed_commits a server-wide config option. The
setting looks like
[couchdb]
delayed_commits = true
and defaults to false. If finer-grained control is required users can override
the default by setting the X-Couch-Full-Commit header to true or false.
Jan mentioned enabling delayed_commits for the test suite. I didn't do this.
> Turn off delayed commits by default

> Delayed commits make CouchDB significantly faster. They also open a one
> second window for data loss. In 0.9 and trunk, delayed commits are enabled by
> default and can be overridden with HTTP headers and an explicit API call to
> flush the write buffer. I suggest to turn off delayed commits by default and
> use the same overrides to enable it per request. A per-database option is
> possible, too.
> One concern is developer workflow speed. The setting affects the test suite
> performance significantly. I'd opt to change couch.js to set the appropriate
> header to enable delayed commits for tests.
> CouchDB should guarantee data safety first and speed second, with sensible
> overrides.
