Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-904:
-------------------------------------------
@Alexander
That's not a bad idea but its orthogonal from this issue. This issue was due to
me debugging something completely random and then figuring out that the person
had a weird couchjs installed. So this was just a quick thought on how to make
that obvious for future debugging.
Your idea for having couchdb send its version number to the os processes it
opens is a good idea though, you should open another ticket with your latest
comment so we have somewhere to track that idea.

> There's currently no way to tell what version of the view server is being
> used. Ie, the JS VM (Or Python, or Ruby, etc) that is being used. Just
> occurred to me it could be useful for debugging things that work one place
> and not another.
> A proposed simple fix would be to have the view server protocol dictate that
> when a server boots up it spits out a line like:
> {"version": OPAQUE_STRING} that gets stored in a view_server_versions section
> in the config or some such.
