I'm looking for feedback on the canonical/derived containment
issue, the
idea of having a defined directory for _externals to store data,
and the
idea of putting said directory/ies into the dbinfo call (and hence
also each
_external request).
So we're looking for something like (modified the dir structure so
that derived data is easily symlinked/configed to another drive):
my-favorite-db-6c38ab2b68f86d2c9.couch/
name
data
my-favorite-db-6c38ab2b68f86d2c9.indexes/
views/
my-design-doc-8ab2b68f866c3d2c9.view/
name
data
my-other-design-doc-c3d2c98ab2b68f866.view/
name
data
my-external-indexer/
...
whatever
...
my-other-external/
...
+1 for being able to easily move derived data around. In fact, I
think it'd be better if all the derived data on the server shared a
common root that was separate from the canonical data. I opened a
ticket (#168) about this a month ago. Sorry I didn't chime earlier on
the ML to voice that viewpoint. Best,
Adam
