Antony Blakey commented on COUCHDB-246: --------------------------------------- I mean a keep-alive back to couch, not to the HTTP server, although the ability to propagate the keep-alive as an HTTP continue might be interesting, though I'm not sure of the HTTP continue semantics. The keep-alive was trivial - 2/3 lines to handle the message, because IIRC the timeout is in the receive loop of the external driver. I think its not more work than the configurable option. As far as UUIDs are concerned, do you mean session multiplexing over the _external channel? > allow customization of external process timeout > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-246 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-246 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Database Core > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Robert Newson > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.9 > > > If an external process takes too long to respond, it is killed. The timeout > is quite short (a few seconds) and is not configurable from .ini files today. > couchdb-lucene could use this ability as the first attempt to sort on a field > in a large index is slow while it builds a cache. With the timeout, it's > killed and the partial work is lost. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
