Shards database name error in logs
Good day,
I am getting a lot of error like this one in the logs (Windows):
{"error":"illegal_database_name","reason":"Name: 'shards%2F00000000-1fffffff%2F_metadata.1473815830'. Only lowercase characters (a-z)
Why is this so?
Regards,
Joey

That one is on me, since I did both the setup and the cassim remove, sorry about that. We’ll list that in the known issues for 2.0.0. I’ve already committed a fix to couchdb-setup: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb-setup.git;h=e8d1e32 — issue filed here, so it shows up for people on 2.0.0 looking for “known issues” (https://s.apache.org/couchdb-2.0-known-issues): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3148
Best
Jan

cassim was removed from the 2.0 release though. I guess we forgot to tell the setup application not to try creating it.

Paul,
_metadata is our special database which is valid.

I'm pretty sure its saying that you're trying to create a database
named _metadata which isn't a valid database name for two reasons.
First, we require db names to start with a letter for file system
compatibility and to avoid surprises (ie, if someone tried to name a
database "../foo"). Second, we generally reserve the _ prefix in all
API places for CouchDB internal use.
