Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-464:
---------------------------------------


Because people using couchdb-lucene with couchdb would prefer to read couch.log 
for the log messages, and I suspect that applies to other externals/addons, etc.

It's clumsy if all addons are forced to log differently, it reduces the degree 
that addons can be integrated. Since couchdb has support for grafting external 
processes (which actually *can* log, I think), it's a shame that 
db_update_notification processes cannot.

That said, for couchdb-lucene, I intend to get off db_update_notification 
entirely and move indexing into the the external searching process instead 
(typicall mapped to _fti). I think I didn't do that before because the external 
was only started on demand? I forget.

> Allow POST to _log for external processes

> Add POST support to _log so that external processes can also log to 
> couch.log. This would allow couchdb-lucene (to pick a random example) to log 
> consistently.
