I have the following environment: - lots of couchdb servers (~100), - several databases are using filtered replication, - the majority of data goes from one "hub" server to the rest, - some data is incoming from the spokes into the hub.
I have the following problem: - the filters need to inspect metadata about the spokes to determine whether or not to send data, - the metadata (company name, type of office (hq, regional offices), etc) is stored in a dedicated database, - I want the filters to lookup the metadata dynamically. Is there a way for my filter functions to query another couchdb database? Or is there a way to cache this data for the filter function to read from? Or is there another way of going about this? -Tim
