Let anonymous users access _active_tasks for view generation estimates
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1089
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1089
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP Interface, JavaScript View Server
Reporter: max ogden
Priority: Minor
Currently you have to be a database administrator to access _active_tasks. For
UX purposes I would like to allow anyone to see view generation statuses,
preferably on a per database level. This solves the problem of the first user
to generate a view that then receives no time estimate as to when their process
will be completed. I can't think of an application use case for making
replication data public.
I spoke with Volker Mische about the implementation details on this issue and
he asserted after a code dive that it appears achievable, though the innards of
the view status code were not familiar to him.
