Continuous replication questions

[Michael Parker <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Two quick questions about replication:

1. The CouchDB wiki says that CouchDB doesn’t remember continuous
replications over a server restart. Is this true even in CouchDB 1.2?
What's an easy way to make this happen, other than editing my init.d
script?

2. Is there any way at a glance to see where a node is continuously
replicating to? I think I've noticed that Futon > Replicator only
shows one-shot replications.

Thanks!

- Mike

Hi Michael,  

If you create documents in the _replicator database [1] with continuous: true in the JSON object, they will persist across restarts.

If you load the Status page in Futon or view :5984/_active_tasks you'll see the continuous tasks' statuses.

Hi Michael!

Since 1.1.0 release there is awesome replicator[1] database that
handles such tasks. You could read more about at github gist[2]. To
see replication progress you could request /_active_tasks resource
(Futon > Status) - all information about replication nodes and it's
status will be there. For replication database you may also request
specific document about operation status (not progress).
