Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1358:
--------------------------------------
Paul makes a good point. However, it also seems reasonable that an indexer
creates ".foo" files when it runs, and deletes ".foo" files when it cleans.
Perhaps a site backup script is running, or rsync or something, placing
siblings alongside the .view files. Cleanup shouldn't remove them either.
> Only delete files with .view extension

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1358
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Volker Mische
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.1.2
>
> Attachments: cleanup-views-only.patch
>
>
> Currently all files in the view directory that are not used by any View group
> are deleted by the _view_cleanup endpoint. If other indexers (like GeoCouch)
> store indexes in the same directory, they get deleted as well.
> The attached patch changes the bahaviour and only deletes files ending with
> ".view". Leftovers from compaction are deletes as well as they end with
> ".compact.view".
