Filipe Manana commented on COUCHDB-1004:
----------------------------------------
Adam, that code snippet is not used by the proposed solution :)
> list_to_existing_atom is too restrictive as used by couch_rep

> Key: COUCHDB-1004
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1004
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Replication
> Environment: erlang
> Reporter: Bob Dionne
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: COUCHDB-1004.patch

>
> We'd like to additional information to db_info in BigCouch, such as the Q and
> N constants for a given database. This causes replication to fail when
> replicating from BigCouch to CouchDB due to the use of list_to_existing_atom
> in couch_rep:dbinfo(...
> The claim is that list_to_atom pollutes the atoms table, however superficial
> testing indicates this is not the case, list_to_atom when called repeatedly
> seems to work fine. If this is true then consider reverting
> list_to_existing_atom back to list_to_atom.
