Adam Kocoloski updated COUCHDB-216:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: couch_startup_refactor.patch
Here's an updated patch inspired by Martin's and Ben's work. It stops short
using a boot file to start CouchDB; hopefully that allays some of Jan's
concerns regarding a build surviving an Erlang VM upgrade. Highlights:
- remove application behavior from couch_server and add it to couch_app instead
- starts/stops the server using OTP application controls
- couch.erl convenience module exports start(), stop(), restart(), reload()
- modules list in couch.app auto-generated using Ben's scary sed command
- server startup command in shell script is *much* simpler now
I don't know if anyone was using couch_server:dev_start(), but I tried to
update that correctly, too.
Finally, I dropped `icu-config --invoke` from the startup command. In my
experience couch finds the ICU libraries just fine without it, and it causes
serious problems on Mac OS X when MacPorts is used to satisfy dependencies. In
particular, it utterly breaks couchdb-lucene.

> CouchDB could adhere to otp standards in a better way.
> Currently we have:
> - couch.app is not uptodate
> - couch_server.erl is an amalgam of 2 behaviours, which is considered being
> "not good".
> From my beginner's perception of OTP, it seems CouchDB is not treated as a
> running application when it is actually running. E.g. appmon doesn't show the
> application once CouchDB is started.
