Restart actually restarts the server ------------------------------------ Key: COUCHDB-709 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-709 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Improvement Components: Database Core Reporter: Chris Anderson
This patch will cause CouchDB to actually restart the server when a POST is made to /_restart The old way was unreliable as supervisors would shut things down asynchronously. This new way is much more brute force, which makes it more deterministic. This only really effects the test suite. I'm only pushing the patch through Jira to see if people see room for improvements. One improvement would be to add a timestamp for server boot time to the / response, but I seem to have avoided the need for that with my double GET magic. Do note: restart now drops any temporary config, hence the change to the reader_acls test. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
