Provide Futon UI option that would use 'stale=ok' when browsing DB views in
Futon, useful for write-heavy DB's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-550
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Administration Console
Environment: All
Reporter: Glenn Rempe
If a CouchDB has continuous writes, as in the case of a log capturing system,
it becomes very difficult to use Futon to browse the views in a design
document. If writes are continuous in the background, and the admin chooses a
view to browse in Futon, CouchDB will force an update to the view index and
will block Futon on trying to browse that design document. This makes it
almost impossible to be able to browse the view results as the indexing may
never catch up with the writes.
A possible solution to this is to provide a UI option (Checkbox) in Futon which
would append the "stale='ok'" onto all Futon view requests allowing for
instantaneous browsing of the current state of the DB view indexes. This
option would be off by default (current behavior).
