Wake a replication up ?

[Matthieu Rakotojaona]

Hey there,

I'm using couchdb's replication protocol for replicating data between 
nodes, and I'd love to have some details about it.

I'm doing a bi-directional push replication from A to B and B to A. 
Sometimes the link comes down in both directions and comes back up:

- when the link comes down the replicator seems to be retrying 
continuously but with an exponential back-off, so it's kinda sleeping 
until the next tick. Is that correct ?

- when the link comes back up again and A can send to B, can B use that 
information to try to send to A now instead of waiting for the next tick ?

- is there a way, as an admin, to tell A or B "try to sync now" instead 
of waiting for the next tick ?


My idea is that for my tests I actually control whether links are up or 
down, so I'd like to nudge couchdb into syncing when I know it can 
instead of waiting
