I currently have a setup with two servers running couch replicating a large database between them. One of them is 'live' in the sense that is receives all the reads and writes. The other is basically a backup copy.
I just created a new design document with a new view and I just queried the new view on the backup server in order to trigger an index build. It's going to take a few hours to build. I don't really want that load on the live server since it will slow it down too much. I was wondering if, when the index build finishes, I can copy the view file from the backup server to the live server. Will that work or are the view files in some sense server/database specific? As an aside, I will compact the view before copying it across since it's likely to be huge after the initial build. Thanks!
