Paul Joseph Davis updated COUCHDB-1266:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: alternate-api.diff
Not sure why we'd want to delay changing the status code until 2.0. 1.2 seems
like a big enough version that we could improve this part of the code.
Why would you want to see this stuff in Futon? If Futon is doing its job all of
the relevant information should be represented in the UI. I can't imagine that
normal people are going to be interested in seeing a JSON blob duplicating all
of the status information that's already formatted for display.
I guess its possible that the definition of progress changes in the future. Not
sure I see how it would change enough to be considerably different yet the same
enough that it's interpreted the same.
As to the record comment I'm not sure where that's coming from. The suggestion
on using a proplist is so that we can carry the task information around and
update it more gracefully. As an example I did a quick sketch of what this
might look like for the view compactor. Attached is a diff from trunk showing
what I was thinking.

> This proposal is simply to add a "stats" field to the _active_tasks results.
> This field can be an arbitrary JSON value and each task can set it to
> whatever is appropriate for it.The following patch also defines some basic
> stats for the existing tasks:
> 1) database compaction - # changes done, total changes, # of revisions
> copied, # of attachments copied and progress (an integer percentage, same as
> what is exposed in the existing text field "status");
> 2) view compaction - # of ids copied, total number of ids, # of kvs copied,
> total number of kvs and progress
> 3) view indexing - # changes done, total changes, # inserted kvs, # deleted
> kvs, progress
> 4) replication - # missing revisions checked, # missing revisions found, #
> docs read, # docs written, # doc write failures, source seq number,
> checkpointed source seq number, progress.
