Randall Leeds updated COUCHDB-1080:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: paranoid_checkpoint_failure.patch
Small patch to fix. I can argue more if you need justification but I was hard
pressed to think of a case where this is a bad idea.
> fail fast with checkpoint conflicts

> Key: COUCHDB-1080

> Project: CouchDB

> Attachments: paranoid_checkpoint_failure.patch

> I've thought about this long and hard and probably should have submitted the
> bug a long time ago. I've also run this in production for months.
> When a checkpoint conflict occurs it is almost always the right thing to do
> to abort.
> If there is a rev mismatch it could mean there's are two conflicting
> (continuous and one-shot) replications between the same hosts running.
> Without reloading the history documents checkpoints will continue to fail
> forever. This could leave us in a state with many replicated changes but no
> checkpoints.
> Similarly, a successful checkpoint but a lost/timed-out response could cause
> this situation.
> Since the supervisor will restart the replication anyway, I think it's safer
> to abort and retry.
