Simon,
Also, you might try setting up the continuous replication instead of
the update notifications as that might be a bit more ironed out.
I already have considered that, though as long there is no way to
figure
out if a continous replication is still up and running i cannot use
it,
cause i have to restart it when a node fails and comes up again
later.
Hmm. Doesn't the _local doc for the continuous replication show if its
still in progress? Oh, though it might not have a specific flag
indicating as such.
Well, in a fuzzy sort of way, yes. It'll tell you the timestamp and
sequence number of the last recorded checkpoint. If you have a system
with constant updates, this would be sufficient to know that the
replication is running -- checkpoints are saved every 5 seconds.
