Jan Lehnardt resolved COUCHDB-1667. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 1.3 > Gracefully update from view_index_dir to index_dir > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1667 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1667 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Alexander Shorin > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.3 > > Attachments: COUCHDB-1667.1-revert_to_view_index_dir.patch, > COUCHDB-1667.1-update_to_index_dir.patch > > > CouchDB 1.3 ships with new couch_index app[1] that uses `index_dir` config > option to locate directory to store view indexes. However, it replaces[2] old > `view_index_dir`option creating situation when recently updated default.ini > will have only `index_dir` option and old, but production used local.ini > would still have `view_index_dir`. There is a fallback[3], but there no > insurance that it will let user gracefully update. > This situation may leads to very bad situations, when all indexes will be > rebuilded against location that may not expects their on disk size (since > `view_index_dir` was pointed to the another mount point) which leads to > server fall. > [1]: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=commit;h=35e57870 > [2]: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=commit;h=e83352f3 > [3]: > https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/src/couch_index/src/couch_index_util.erl#L22 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
