Hello, After some discussion about user migration and issues with 1GIG+ sized databases, it seems we will not be able to use replication for copying databases. We have seen the speed offered by rsync/cp in comparison to replication in couchdb. Our thoughts currently lie in a external handler to make this a bit easier, rsync / ssh user permissions across our server draws away from some of our security methodologies but it is workable.
My question is could(or would rather) a efficient database copy ever be implemented in couch similar to the way replication API works? One that optimized both local server and remote server database copying. If no future plans exist what would be the possible implementation details, roadmap/business rules holding such a feature back? Does anyone else have any sort of need or desire for faster, built in database copying? Kind Regards, -Chris
