list_to_existing_atom is too restrictive as used by couch_rep
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1004
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1004
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Replication
Environment: erlang
Reporter: Bob Dionne
Priority: Minor
We'd like to additional information to db_info in BigCouch, such as the Q and N
constants for a given database. This causes replication to fail when
replicating from BigCouch to CouchDB due to the use of list_to_existing_atom in
couch_rep:dbinfo(...
The claim is that list_to_atom pollutes the atoms table, however superficial
testing indicates this is not the case, list_to_atom when called repeatedly
seems to work fine. If this is true then consider reverting
list_to_existing_atom back to list_to_atom.
