Okay, I think I finally figured out how to get the validate_doc_update function to work.
Now the question is... I only want to replicate some of the docs. Regardless of whether I return true or false all docs seem to replicate. Here's a link to the validate function: https://gist.github.com/1507943 My log shows nothing but thousands of lines like this: [Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:51:15 GMT] [info] [<0.16027.7>] OS Process #Port<0.22580> Log :: validating for alignment. [Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:51:15 GMT] [info] [<0.16027.7>] OS Process #Port<0.22580> Log :: 26120f9dccbe452abae585889988ff71-distributable is NOT being replicated. and none showing that it is replicating, however afaik, it's replicating everything, as my empty db, now has thousands of docs that shouldn't be there. The docs for the validate_doc_update seems to indicate to throw an error instead of returning true or false; however doing that causes replication to fail. What might I be doing wrong?
