[GitHub] [couchdb] kocolosk opened a new issue #3823: Deleting _users renders instance unusable

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

kocolosk opened a new issue #3823:
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/3823


   ## Description
   
   There is a bug on main right now where the _users DB cannot be recreated once it has been deleted, and the cluster is rendered completely inoperable until CouchDB restarts. That's the reason for d8eea48 (and, I believe, for Paul's exclusion of other tests in that module). I've called that out separately so we can revert that commit once the fix is found.
   
   NB: the `_users` DB does get recreated automatically when you restart the instance, so this issue is maybe less severe than it would otherwise seem.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   
   1. Start an instance building from `main` i.e. 3e05ca5
   2. Delete `_users` via the API
   3. Try to make any request e.g. `_all_dbs` with server admin credentials. You'll see a 404 response
   
   ## Expected Behaviour
   
   Requests w/ server admin credentials should not be dependent on `_users`, and in particular a server admin should be able to recreate the `_users` DB.
   
   ## Additional Context
