Hello, CouchDB requires some maintenance from time to time, so I created a Python script using Benoit's Couchdbkit library to do the following for one or more CouchDB instances:
* Compact all databases * Compact all views for all databases * Clean up all views for all databases Note that all these tasks are started at once, so if you have a lot of databases/views/data, running this script might ask a lot of your server's resources. If anyone has a great idea to do this in a 'better' way, let me know. (Polling the server for compact_running? Is this also available for compacting views? Maybe just a dumb sleep before starting a next job?) You can find the code at https://github.com/vpro/couchdb_maintenance under an MIT license. I run it daily using cron myself. I hope this is useful for others as well.
