Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2535: ---------------------------------------- noting that the expected result is not what we'd do, we won't pretend this is a validate_doc_update failure when it isn't. It's more like failing to write a design document on the target if not using admin creds. That said, I'm not keen on a replication 'succeeding' (i.e, completing) without copying all the (non-design) documents. I think it *should* crash/fail until the target is able to take all the documents or the user applies a filter to avoid documents that can't be replicated, but I'd like to hear from other devs. > Crash when replicating doc that exceeds max_document_size > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-2535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2535 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: Replication > Affects Versions: 1.5.1 > Reporter: Rami Alia > > DB SOURCE has a max_document_size of 400MB, DB TARGET has a max_document_size > of 40MB.
