Hi,

We're running a bidirectional replicated (two nodes) setup where a database 
contains a couple of hundred small documents, where each document is updated 
with new data every few seconds.

We're having a few problems getting this to work.

-          _revs_limit in itself does not stop the database from growing. This 
is by design as I understand it.

-          A low _revs_limit (=10 for example) seems to break replication. 
Typically only a few documents are updated through the replication to the node 
that is not directly written to. The others are not updated.

-          Regularly compacting the database seems to have some performance (as 
well as stability) implications, at least in a replicated scenario.

What's the recommended work flow here? We need to keep updating the database 
24/7/365 with data, but without the size growing uncontrollably?

Kind regards,
Fredrik Widlund
