Re: svn commit: r1133561 - /couchdb/trunk/src/couchdb/couch_replicator.erl
Randall, I disagree with this change. While it's ok for local databases, it causes noise for remote databases, as the httpc pool is linked to the main replication gen_server and it starts receiving EXIT messages from the later when it finishes normally (without errors). Look at the following gist, provided by Robert Dionne: https://gist.github.com/1022516 This is making the replication.js test failing for a few folks at least (Robert, Jan for e.g.) I would suggest instead this patch: http://friendpaste.com/2VZvViEvWugHt4TmHFep0M On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 10:30 PM, rand...@apache.org wrote: Author: randall Date: Wed Jun 8 21:30:03 2011 New Revision: 1133561 URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1133561view=rev Log: let dbs be closed implicitly when replication dies We have the supervision tree and monitoring set up with ref counter.

Re: [Couchdb Wiki] Trivial Update of CouchDB_in_the_wild by wentforgold
Any documentation is good. What is this 'spam'? Haven't personally encountered anything on the wiki that would be 'considered' spam (perhaps not stumbled upon that portion?) But it's inevitable that the wiki will be attacked by unscrupulous people and as such, the wiki should prepare for this. The wiki is going to need gatekeepers/admins to maintain it. It would be nice, that any edits be archived so users can see previous states of the page if they so choose so. If a noted jerk keeps editing the wiki, we should have a system that only applies his edits to his account. The common user would not see his edits, only he would, which would hopefully convince him that his edit has gone through. +1 top hats.
Re: [Couchdb Wiki] Trivial Update of CouchDB_in_the_wild by wentforgold
It's not the wiki per se that bothers me, it's that it's the primary, often only, source of documentation. I propose that future releases of CouchDB include at least a full description of all public API's. Improvements above that base level would be a manual and/or simple tutorials. This documentation would be maintained in the same source tree as the code and it would be a release requirement for this documentation to be updated to include all new features. This documentation is then the primary source, the wiki can serve as a supplement. b. On 13 June 2011 18:16, Peter Nolan peterwno...@gmail.com wrote: Any documentation is good. What is this 'spam'?

It doesn't matter where the 'centralized' information is located, it just needs to be centralized. There are a bunch of great little bits of information scattered throughout the internet, from blogs, to stackoverflow etc. Out of curiosity, how hard is it to create plugins for firefox? If one wanted to create a plugin that allowed users to upload urls of useful information to the couchdb wiki, how long would it take them? Assuming they know js, couch, html and css only. That'd be a nice little project to put on the back burner. -Pete

I'd argue that it matters a great deal. Our project should include good documentation. B.

There are a bunch of great little bits of information scattered throughout the internet, from blogs, to stackoverflow etc. Out of curiosity, how hard is it to create plugins for firefox? If one wanted to create a plugin that allowed users to upload urls of useful information to the couchdb wiki, how long would it take them? Assuming they know js, couch, html and css only.

Re: [Couchdb Wiki] Trivial Update of CouchDB_in_the_wild by wentforgold
The point that was trying to be made was that a database system that allows such an extreme degree of decentralization (with replication and whatnot) is that information is incredibly decentralized. Having a location that contains all necessary documentation is incredibly important.
[jira] [Updated] (COUCHDB-994) Crash after compacting large views
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-994?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Stefan Kögl updated COUCHDB-994: Attachment: 2011-06-13-couchdb.log I've applied the patch from http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=1104168 onto CouchDB 1.1.0 and tried to compact again. The result was that the compaction finnishes, an error is reported in the log (2011-06-13-couchdb.log) and the .view files are not replaced with their corresponding .compact.view files. Crash after compacting large views -- Key: COUCHDB-994 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-994 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.0.2 Environment: Centos5 64bit vm with 2CPU and 4G RAM running Erlang R14B and configured to use the 64bit js-devel libraries. URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/branches/1.0.x Repository Root: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf Repository UUID: 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68 Revision: 1050680 Reporter: Bob Clary Fix For: 1.2 Attachments: 2011-06-11-couchdb.log, 2011-06-13-couchdb.log, couch_errors.txt, couch_errors_2.txt The database has over 9 million records. Several of the views are relatively dense in that they emit a key for most documents. The views are successfully created initially but with relatively large sizes from 20 to 95G. When attempting to compact them, the server will crash upon completion of the compaction. This does not occur with the released 1.0.1 version but does with the 1.0.x svn version. I'll attach example logs. Unfortunately they are level error and may not have enough information. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Commits to 1.1.x not in 1.0.x
I was just going through what we back ported to 1.1.x to make sure that all the relevant commits are also on 1.0.x before rolling a release. There are a few that are mostly trivial but I've come across two that I'm a bit stumped on. The first is this one: * https://github.com/davisp/couchdb/commit/a0563ab7ce204cf82feb56259d7a52c0b84077b7 Large contiguous conflict in share/www/script/test/design_docs.js that I'm not sure if I can just choose this patched version or not. The patch to util.js applies cleanly, but the diff to design_docs.js results in a fairly large conflict. It may be a simple code move with indentation difference but if someone could eyeball that closer that'd help. The second is: * https://github.com/davisp/couchdb/commit/d952ac01cb4cd4ae5ceb0c8cc079acf595ff9747 Appears to rely on mochiweb_request:accepts_content_type which does not appear to exist in 1.0.x I'm not even sure if this is relevant to the 1.0.x branch or was a fix for something introduced in the 1.1.x branch with the various content-type changes and what not. Again, if someone would eyeball this that is more familiar with the interaction with jquery/futon that'd be a help. Thanks
