Damien Katz commented on COUCHDB-791:
-------------------------------------
Sleeping while waiting doesn't give a guarantee. On a heavily loaded server, it
could take many seconds to completely flush everything.
If you want to ensure your data is to disk, use full commits. Nothing else
gives any guarantees.
> Changes not written if server shutdown during delayed_commits period

> Key: COUCHDB-791
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-791
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Environment: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
> Reporter: Matt Goodall
>
> If the couchdb server is shutdown (couchdb -d, Ctrl+C at the console, etc)
> during the delayed commits period then buffered updates are lost.
> Simple script to demonstrate the problem is:
> db=http://localhost:5984/scratch
> curl $db -X DELETE
> curl $db -X PUT
> curl $db -X POST -d '{}'
> /path/to/couchdb/bin/couchdb -d
> When couchdb is started again the database is empty.
> Affects 0.11.x and trunk branches.
