Hi, I started playing with 0.10.0 binary installation on windows (http://people.apache.org/~mhammond/dist/0.10.0/). Couldn't have been easier, thanks.
I've had an instance running since monday, receiving event data. Db is 0.8GB now (141 MB after compact on a patched replica), >90000 documents, 10 views and a list to export data to excel for analysis. Not fancy, but very useful. Only problem apart from known issues so far has been that manual ibrowse:start() is needed before remote replication. I searched windows related issues from jira and I'm worried about two of them: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-86 ( compaction doesn't work ) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-222 ( fsync problem ) The compaction issue resolution is "Don't Fix", and it refers to discussion on issue 67 (unicode chars in db names) for a solution. I need the compaction from the start and I got it to work with the attached dirty fix. That'll do for now, but I'd like to understand how 67 will solve the problem. The fsync issue worries me because I don't exactly undestand it's implications. It'd be great if someone would elaborate.
