I have a Couchdb 1.0.2 server running on an EC2 m1.xlarge (15GB / 4 cores) instance, with ~40m docs clocking in at ~45G. The database files are stored on EBS, configured as a 250G RAID-10 split on 4 EBS disks. I am trying to build a new slave instance on another EC2 instance. On the master I have max_http_pipeline_size=100 and max_http_sessions=1. When I start a pull replication from the slave instance, view requests to the master that usually have a ~1s response time, jumps to a ~30-40s response time, which breaks my app, that still relies on the master instance. It seems a bit aggressive. Any ideas?
