["Martin Higham (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-390?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12887693#action_12887693 ] 

Martin Higham commented on COUCHDB-390:
---------------------------------------

When implementing a system where each end user has one or more databases this is an essential feature. 

The alternative is to have the listener process generating large numbers of connections and having a system that adds more listeners whenever a new user account is created. I know this is the approach that node.couch.js takes but its not really scalable to large deployments

> The _changes comet feed as a replacement for the update notifications is a great step forward, but I'm currently missing these features:
> 1. The feeds are now per database, rather than per server, which is nice in some use cases, but in others it's preferable to have a server wide feed (In the case of many thousands of databases on a server, and a single process reacting to updates, by putting messages on a message queue for instance). Ideally I'd like to have both server wide and per database _changes feeds available.
> 2. I'd like to have a configurable _changes feed that let's me declare what data will be output in the update rows in the feed, in a similar way to writing views.
> 3. I'd like to (optionally) have information on whether a particular update was a document creation, update or deletion, so clients would be able to react to those differently without needing to query into the database to find out what happened.
