Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-807:
----------------------------------------
the users_db test is still failing for me:
# Assertion failed: e.error == "unauthorized"
# Assertion failed: /conflict/.test(e.reason)
Is this related to this patch? Do we need to finish applying it?

> Key: COUCHDB-807
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-807
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: trunk
> Reporter: Filipe Manana
> Assignee: Filipe Manana
> Fix For: 1.0
>
> Attachments: auth_cache.patch, auth_cache_2.patch
>
>
> Currently, in order to authenticate an incoming request, each authentication
> handler will read a user doc from the _users DB.
> By default, 3 authentication handlers are defined (default.ini), which means
> we can have 3 _users DB lookups (besides 3 DB open and close operations).
> Taking into account that this is done for each incoming HTTP request, for
> very busy servers this current behaviour might be overkill.
> The following patch adds a new gen_server which implements an authentication
> cache and keeps the _users DB open all the time, so that cache misses and
> refreshes are as quick as possible.
