@kxepal I need your advice on the following:
Consider the following use case:
1. Attachment is stored externally
2. User download attachment
3. CouchDB fails to download attachment from Swift ( for example network
failure )
The relevant code in "chttpd_db" is:
ExtStoreID = couch_att:fetch(att_extstore_id,TmpAtt),
case ExtStoreID of
undefined ->
couch_log:debug("chttpd_db: Att is not stored in the
external store ~p~n",[ExtStoreID]),
Att = TmpAtt;
_ ->
Att = fabric_att_handler:att_get(Db, TmpAtt),
couch_log:debug("chtttpd_db: Got attachment from the
external store ~p~n",[ExtStoreID])
end,
My question is: what is the best way to handle this?
Should i do something like this:
case fabric_att_handler:att_get(Db, TmpAtt),
{ok, Att} ->
couch_log:debug("chtttpd_db: Got attachment from the
external store ~p~n",[ExtStoreID])
{error,_} ->
throw({
bad_request,
"Please try again later"
})
.....
