Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2535:
----------------------------------------
noting that the expected result is not what we'd do, we won't pretend this is a
validate_doc_update failure when it isn't. It's more like failing to write a
design document on the target if not using admin creds.
That said, I'm not keen on a replication 'succeeding' (i.e, completing) without
copying all the (non-design) documents. I think it *should* crash/fail until
the target is able to take all the documents or the user applies a filter to
avoid documents that can't be replicated, but I'd like to hear from other devs.
> Crash when replicating doc that exceeds max_document_size
