Hi List, I would like to find a way to know when CouchDB is under heavy load of document writes, to be able to act on this state. What's the way to go to achieve this? using _changes or doing anything else that requires the spidermoney seems a no go and a performance burden when the db is under very high load. My use case is for example, when the db is about to be compacted through CRON, I want to disable hits to the couchdb to make sure the compaction process does not race with new documents being added.
Your feedback greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Sivan
