Great. I couldn't tell from the wiki page if doing a:
POST /_replicate?source=$source_database&target=$target_database
Would trigger a one way or two way replication. Sounds like you're
saying its one way, which is exactly what I need.
The caveat is going in the other direction. To date, I don't know that
there's anything to support replicating just a set of records. I think
there was talk of this to support things like sharding etc at one
point or another, but I don't know of anyone actively working on such
a thing.
Maybe I can figure out some manual process of GETting and PUTting,
though I suppose this would render the builtin _id and _rev bits worthless.
Perhaps if you wanted to submit a patch for something like replicating
from a view. :D I really have no idea if that's even feasible, but
given the little I know of the internals it sounds possible.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it!
Before I can submit any patches, I'll have to learn Erlang.
