Filipe Manana commented on COUCHDB-1089:
----------------------------------------
Dale, I understand that. What I'm saying is that it seems useless, since with
replicator database you can know if the replication is running or not by simply
reading the "_replication_state" field of the replication document. Plus, for
many other use cases, you can define map/reduce views for other not so trivial
things.
> 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.
