Hi list, on Saturday we sat together and collected and discussed the missing steps for a 2.0 release in Hamburg at Ubilabs.
The original document is located at: https://docs.google.com/a/kowalski.gd/document/d/1ftAd5b09CX9e6Z7qN57_56AVCgjfjcxfouJYytm9P34/edit?usp=sharing CouchDB Committers Meetup 2015-02-08 ================================ Attendees: Andy Wenk, Robert Newson, Noah Slater, Jan Lehnardt, Philipp Hinrichsen, Klaus Trainer, Sebastian Rothbucher, Robert Kowalski Discussion what is missing for 2.0: - Documentation, people would like to use 2.0 but they don’t know how to maintain it (e.g. adding and rebalancing nodes, general setup). Owner: Robert Kowalski - Packaging: tarball & debian package. Discussion was that it will increase adoption to have packages people can install. Owner: Jan - Directly related to packaging: make dist and make docs are still missing. Additionaly the Thanks.in file that was generated by autotools when preparing a release must be readded Owner: Jan - Single node mode: we have to remove a warning that is sent as response if the node is not joined into a multi-node cluster and has no membership. Owner: Bob? - The wizard to make setup easy has to get finished. It should warn users if they have an old local db and want to create a cluster. We want to have a button to replicated the local db to the cluster. The button will be at the 5986 backdoor ports. Owner: Jan & Robert Kowalski - Documentation: Migration guides No owner? - Testing: Double check that we do not delete 1.x databases when starting to use 2.0 - DB should be at 5986 No owner? - Fauxton: Warn users if they try to delete a system database using the backdoor port (https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/pull/261) Owner: Philipp & Robert - Fauxton: remove section to create admins & to change their password if Fauxton is accessed through an LB - just display that one on the backdoor ports (which also have Fauxton) Owner: Robert Kowalski - Fauxton: Broken Compact databases on 5984 (would have to use 5986): display message if on 5984 that points the user in the right direction Owner: Robert Kowalski - Fauxton: Config section - remove handler from chttpd - if Fauxton gets a 404 we are not using the backdoor port which still supports `/_config` - this also solves the problem if user are using curl and try to change configuration on a clustered CouchDB behind a LB Owner: Robert Kowalski Nice ideas for 2.1: - Fauxton: set q/n parameters on creation of a database. Inform the user if the values do not make sense (q < 1000 and warn if n == 1 because of possible data loss). Make it possible to select nodes which have space left (/_stats - disk usage percentage) - Fauxton: create allow-nodes-parameter-handler / use zones in fauxton to create zones for hosting in different datacenters - Fauxton: visualize the cluster: show for database on which nodes the data is stored - warn if disk space runs out - Fauxton: show shardcount for DB - delayed deletion as safety net Best, Robert
