[GitHub] [couchdb] nickva opened a new issue #3930: Hide internal checkpoint docs from `$db/_local_docs` response

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

nickva opened a new issue #3930:
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/3930


   Currently `$db/_local_docs` shows internal (system) checkpoint documents for purge and internal replicator.  Users are often confused by those and may try to remove them. Deleting them may or may not succeed, because they are created "below" the cluster document sharding layer. If it does succeed, it could reset the internal replication progress or,  in case of the purge ones, would simply be re-created by the views next time they are opened.
   
   It would be helpful to hide them from the `_local_docs` output. For debugging it may be nice to allow passing in a parameter to view them `?include_system=true` or similar.
