-------------------------------------
Summary: replication requires write on source
Key: COUCHDB-1524
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1524
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Replication
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Simon Metson
Replication requires write permissions on the source DB to store check pointing
info, if it doesn't have write it returns:
{"error":"checkpoint_commit_failure","reason":"Failure on source commit:
{error,<<\"unauthorized\">>}"}
This results in a partial replication (e.g. changes up until the first check
point make it across) and breaks a fairly common use case; having a read only
DB that people can replicate to their own server for writes.
I think either this message should become a warning (assuming it's safe to
ignore) or a different permissions model is needed for checkpoints.
