kowsik commented on COUCHDB-1089:
---------------------------------
Bad idea. I've got a bunch of Couch's on EC2 and *do not* want anyone to access
anything on these Couch's. I have the require_valid_user set to true with the
assumption that everything's locked down. While EC2 security groups help, I'll
sleep better knowing that Couch is not going to reveal anything to anyone
without the required credentials.
> 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
> Labels: http, view
> Original Estimate: 3h
> Remaining Estimate: 3h
>
> 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.
