Hello Couch Community -
I have an odd problem that I could use some help with. I am using couch replication for attachments that are essentially a bunch of concatenated TIFF images with some text in between each image. When I replicate a database with a single document that has a single binary attachment that is only 4.5mb it takes 30+ seconds to complete. If I zip the file it is sub second to completion My test cases have been on Windows 7 and Mac OS x10.7.5 running either CouchDB 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 I am doing local replication The CPU spikes for the entire duration When I use Futon to kick off the replication, it is sub second to completion but when I POST to replicate, it takes 30+ seconds Exact test case on Win 7 laptop, Couch 1.5.0: Using Futon : Create a database called from and a database called to Create a document with id as "test" Upload the 4.5mb binary file attachment. Couch assigns the mime type as application/octet-stream I have tried other mime types and other file types Using PHP: POST to replicate from= localhost/from to= localhost/to Here is the response from the post request: ( [ok] => 1 [session_id] => fc9e35341f4ffb989517d27ae9a1aca6 [source_last_seq] => 2 [replication_id_version] => 3 [history] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [session_id] => fc9e35341f4ffb989517d27ae9a1aca6 [start_time] => Tue, 21 Jan 2014 04:02:28 GMT [end_time] => Tue, 21 Jan 2014 04:03:41 GMT [start_last_seq] => 0 [end_last_seq] => 2 [recorded_seq] => 2 [missing_checked] => 1 [missing_found] => 1 [docs_read] => 1 [docs_written] => 1 [doc_write_failures] => 0 ) ) ) Finally, if I zip the file the replication completes in less than a second. I can upload the attachment if anyone is interested but I understand people may be concerned about viruses etc so Ill wait to send if anyone requests. Again, the attachment is an ANSII X9.37 file layout which is basically a bunch of tiff images concatenated with other binary and text between each tiff image. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
