CouchDB Weekly News May 1 are ready for feedback
Hi everyone,
Noah and Jan, who have been checking and publishing the Weekly News in the last weeks (thanks to you!), had already suggested that I send my finished version of the Weekly News not only to the two of them, but to the entire marketing list. The idea behind is to make this more transparent and ensure the News can also get posted by one of you in case the two of them are not around.
As I'm still so new to this community, I had needed some weeks to get into this and feel comfortable with doing so. This is why today is the first time I'm sending it out to the entire list.
So, there we go.
Below, I'm sending you the Weekly News for today (they're usually posted around 12pm UTC + 2) in a formatted version and as plain HTML (the latter one to make the posting on the blog easier). As usually, it contains all major discussions, a summary of the Weekly Meeting, events, jobs and all other relevant content I found last week.
Just two "release notes":
- I included a content-wrap this time, I tested it on a site and hope it works properly :)
- I left the "please help us testing rcouch merge" section (under "Get involved") in. If we can already leave this out due to the testing progress, let me know.
If you have any annotations or comments (or find typos :) ), please let me know and I'll send an updated version. If it's good to go (then), it would be great if one of you could post it.
Also thanks to everyone who submitted content for this!
Best
Lena

CouchDB Weekly News - May 01
Weekly CouchDB meeting – summary
1.6.0 release: we are making progress, next is checking if all bugs have been fixed

rcouch merge status: the testing is still in progress, feedback will be provided to the mailing list; merge to the new integration branch can be done after that feedback
Code of Conduct: the first version will now be drafted based on the discussion on the mailing list (for details, see "Major Discussions" section below)
by-laws: everyone in the community is invited to read the draft and join the discussion (see thread); please note that the bylaws now include a new idea about PMC chair rotation
translation update: German translation is making good progress (see status here)
Major Discussions
Apache CouchDB Diversity Statement (see thread)
This discussion was initiated with the suggestion to establish a project-wide Diversity Statement. First, the idea was brought up to turn this document into a PMC charter, a document that sets out what the PMC values, their commitment to diversity, and their pledge to the project. The second idea was about how merit is being recognised and it was brought up to broaden this around the four areas community, project, documentation and code. "This is what we value. This is what we will recognise. Our promise to the community." (Noah Slater) It was agreed on creating two documents, one for the PMC charter, a second one for diversity.
Discussion: Project by-laws (ongoing discussion; see thread)
Proposal to vote in set of project by-laws that define the specific roles in this community and
the decision making procedures that are used. The first draft of the by-laws has been discussed and modified accordingly and can be found here. Comments are very welcome.
Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (ongoing discussion; see thread)
The PMC initiated a thread on moving forwards establishing an Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (CoC for short). Example Codes of Conduct from Debian, Python, Django , Bantik, Node.JS and the Node.JS IRC channel policy were as well considered and discussed as transparency, the consequences of infractions and the differentiation between minor offences and major offences, how to deal with profanity and how this applies to IRC and the moderation policy there.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) / HIPAA 5010 / PIPEDA compliance (see thread)
Question on building applications using CouchDB while having to follow HIPAA compliance. As for the legal topic this is, the community strongly recommended the user get in touch with a lawyer and getting proper compliancy and regulatory guidance.
CouchDB load spike (see thread, see also the same question on StackOverflow)
Setup: CouchDB 1.5.0, database with < 10 GB of data in it and continuous replication. Every few hours (3-4 times per day) they recognise a huge spike that floors the load to around 1.5 and memory usage to close to 100%. It turned out there was a similar issue that was already discussed (link to gist). The user filed issue COUCHDB-2231.
Tips for general CouchDB monitoring and graphs drawing tools to check what's causing huge spikes (from Alexander Shorin, see this reply):
Munin plugin for CouchDB monitoring. Suddenly, it doesn't handles system metrics for
CouchDB process which will be added soon; users should make sure they have a similar plugin for their monitoring system.
Skyline, a detector for spikes and other anomalies
Oculus, a metrics correlation tool that makes it very easy to compare multiple graphs for an anomaly period with it.
Release Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 rc3 (ongoing testing and discussion; see thread)
Some issues have already been fixed, the testing is still ongoing. Find all release artefacts we are voting on in this list. If you want to test, please follow this test procedure. The changes since last vote round can be found here.

Use Cases, Questions and Answers
Note on a use case, written by Dave Cottlehuber (see email): Creating databases for new users signing up with a CouchDB login. – A common pattern for CouchDB is to have a per-user database, because this is the only boundary where CouchDB enforces user permissions for security. It also makes replicating user data to another device very straightforwards. When you have a new user signing up with a CouchDB login, you’ll often want to create a database for them immediately. While there’s no built-in feature to do this for you, the CouchDB community have of course rolled their own like these:
couchperuser
couchdb-dbpersuser-provisioning
Personal Blog, how-to: Installing CouchDB 1.5.1 on Amazon Linux AMI 2014.03.1
Stack Overflow: CouchDB not Working on Android Emulator
Stack Overflow: Couchdb document deletion and performance
Stack Overflow: Is it possible to conditionally revoke read access to a database in CouchDB? (closed)
Stack Overflow: Can a view in Cloudant be filtered on parameters that weren't part of [its] key
Stack Overflow: add an attachment to a document in couch db using nodejs
Stack Overflow: CouchDB load spike (even with low traffic)? (question has also been asked on user@ mailing list. See discussion summary here)
Stack Overflow: CouchDB filtering metadata during sync
Stack Overflow: User Authentication using CouchDB Android
Stack Overflow: ubuntu couchDb not starting on change of database_dir path (no public answer yet)
Stack Overflow: Join two different documents in couchdb using futon map program?
Stack Overflow: How to structure class for Couchdb HTTP api? (no public answer yet)
couchdb still at 1.5.0-2 even though it has been updated to 1.5.1-1 two weeks ago
local (1.5.1-1) is newer than community (1.5.0-2) (solved)
Android-User Authentication using CouchDB Android (no public answer yet)
Personal blog, question: Can replication on CouchDB be faster on production server? (no public answer yet)
Get involved!
If you want to get into working on CouchDB:
rcouch Merge: Erlang hackers and CouchDB users, we need your help with testing and review of the rcouch merge. It's easy! Find the how-to in this post.
Here's a list of beginner tickets around our currently ongoing Fauxton-implementation. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to contact us in the couchdb-dev IRC room (#couchdb-dev) – Garren (garren) and Sue (deathbear) are happy to help.

First, the idea was brought up to turn this document into a PMC charter, a document that sets out what the PMC values, their commitment to diversity, and their pledge to the project. The second idea was about how merit is being recognised and it was brought up to broaden this around the four areas community, project, documentation and code. "This is what we value. This is what we will recognise. Our promise to the community." (Noah Slater) It was agreed on creating two documents, one for the PMC charter, a second one for diversity.

Re: CouchDB Weekly News May 1 are ready for feedback
Posted by Noah Slater <ns...@apache.org>.
Woo, thanks Lena!
An unfortunate side effect of moving this to the list is that the list
strips HTML. Lena, how would you feel about preparing these as gists?
That allows editing, forking, diffing, etc, as well as formatting the
HTML so we can preview.
I can post in a short while. :)

Thanks, everyone, for the great feedback, that's encouraging!
There are no guidelines yet, perhaps one day it could make sense to add some, I'm happy to help figure this out.
This was also just the draft to be posted on the blog. Would anyone of you have time to post it?

Thanks Lena! Looks like a *lot* of news this week. That's awesome, but are there guidelines for how much is too much, particularly when it comes to email? The lack of formatting can make it hard to distinguish sections, etc. I know I found myself glossing over a few bits when I first scanned it this morning. Best,

+1. and this project was in previous issue, so thanks for mention it
there twice (:
Also, if we'll try to use munin, skyline and oculus to monitor
CouchDB, there is one chain missed:
https://github.com/Tech-Corps/munin-statsd
since skyline gathers data from statsd, while oculus imports data from
skyline to elasticsearch
But anyway, all these details are better to describe in our wiki. Both
projects are worth to be mention and hope that people figure out how
to use them before we provide the instructions against CouchDB (:

CouchDB Weekly News - May 01, 2014
<h4>Weekly CouchDB meeting – <a href="http://wilderness.apache.org/archives/couchdb-meeting-30_04_2014-9188.html">summary</a></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>1.6.0 release</strong>: we are making progress, next is checking if all bugs have been fixed</li>
<li><strong>BigCouch merge status</strong>: Cloudant will now focus on the BigCouch merge, visible progress should happen in the next couple of weeks</li>
<li><strong>rcouch merge status</strong>: the testing is still in progress, feedback will be provided to the mailing list; merge to the new integration branch can be done after that feedback</li>
<li><strong>Code of Conduct</strong>: the first version will now be drafted based on the discussion on the mailing list (for details, see "Major Discussions" section below)</li>
<li><strong>by-laws</strong>: everyone in the community is invited to read the <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40511017">draft</a> and join the discussion (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=issues+with+terabytes+databases+list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user+order%3Adate-backward+date%3A201404#query:issues%20with%20terabytes%20databases%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20order%3Adate-backward%20date%3A200802-200810%20date%3A200812-201005%20date%3A201007-201303%20date%3A201305-201306%20date%3A201308-201404%20+page:1+mid:pxnd6vdpjuwjioqw+state:results">see thread</a>); please note that the bylaws now include a new idea about PMC chair rotation</li>
<li><strong>translation update</strong>: German translation is making good progress (see status <a href="https://translate.apache.org/de/CouchDB/">here</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Major Discussions</h4>
<h5>Apache CouchDB Diversity Statement (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=[DISCUSS]+Apache+CouchDB+Diversity+Statement.#query:[DISCUSS]%20Apache%20CouchDB%20Diversity%20Statement.%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:2+mid:fqfvc6ghp3ssk5ef+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>This discussion was initiated with the suggestion to establish a project-wide Diversity Statement. First, the idea was brought up to turn this document into a PMC charter, a document that sets out what the PMC values, their commitment to diversity, and their pledge to the project. The second idea was about how merit is being recognised and it was brought up to broaden this around the four areas <em>community</em>, <em>project</em>, <em>documentation</em> and <em>code</em>. <strong>"This is what we value. This is what we will recognise. Our promise to the community."</strong> (Noah Slater) It was agreed on creating two documents, one for the PMC charter, a second one for diversity.</p>
<h5>Discussion: Project by-laws (ongoing discussion; <a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=issues+with+terabytes+databases+list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user+order%3Adate-backward+date%3A201404#query:issues%20with%20terabytes%20databases%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20order%3Adate-backward%20date%3A200802-200810%20date%3A200812-201005%20date%3A201007-201303%20date%3A201305-201306%20date%3A201308-201404%20+page:1+mid:pxnd6vdpjuwjioqw+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>Proposal to vote in set of project by-laws that define the specific roles in this community and the decision making procedures that are used. The first draft of the by-laws has been discussed and modified accordingly and can be found <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40511017">here</a>. Comments are very welcome.</p>
<h5>Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (ongoing discussion; <a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=[VOTE]+Release+Apache+CouchDB+1.6.0-rc.3#query:[VOTE]%20Release%20Apache%20CouchDB%201.6.0-rc.3%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:2+mid:p3txsrlgmm55ienf+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>The PMC initiated a thread on moving forwards establishing an Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (CoC for short). Example Codes of Conduct from <a href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_002">Debian</a>, <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/">Python</a>, <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/">Django</a> , <a href="https://github.com/bantik/contributor_covenant">Bantik</a>, <a href="http://nodeirc.info/">Node.JS</a> and the <a href="http://blog.izs.me/post/30036893703/policy-on-trolling">Node.JS IRC channel policy</a> were as well considered and discussed as transparency, the consequences of infractions and the differentiation between minor offences and major offences, how to deal with profanity and how this applies to IRC and the moderation policy there.</p>
<h5>HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) / HIPAA 5010 / PIPEDA compliance (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=hippa+rules#query:hippa%20rules%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20date%3A201404%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+mid:pjyg2nazliijjijp+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>Question on building applications using CouchDB while having to follow HIPAA compliance. As for the legal topic this is, the community strongly recommended the user get in touch with a lawyer and getting proper compliancy and regulatory guidance.</p>
<h5><a id="load-spike-discussion"></a>CouchDB load spike (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=couchdb+load+spike#query:couchdb%20load%20spike%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20date%3A201404%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+mid:dztlbqyzen4q4zls+state:results">see thread</a>, see also the same question <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23330204/couchdb-load-spike-even-with-low-traffic">on StackOverflow</a>)</h5>
<p>Setup: CouchDB 1.5.0, database with < 10 GB of data in it and continuous replication. Every few hours (3-4 times per day) they recognise a huge spike that floors the load to around 1.5 and memory usage to close to 100%. It turned out there was a similar issue that was already discussed (<a href="https://gist.github.com/7601778">link to gist</a>).

It also makes replicating user data to another device very straightforwards. When you have a new user signing up with a CouchDB login, you’ll often want to create a database for them immediately. While there’s no built-in feature to do this for you, the CouchDB community have of course rolled their own like these:

<h4>Major Discussions</h4>
<h5>Apache CouchDB Diversity Statement (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=[DISCUSS]+Apache+CouchDB+Diversity+Statement.#query:[DISCUSS]%20Apache%20CouchDB%20Diversity%20Statement.%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:2+mid:fqfvc6ghp3ssk5ef+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>This discussion was initiated with the suggestion to establish a project-wide Diversity Statement. First, the idea was brought up to turn this document into a PMC charter, a document that sets out what the PMC values, their commitment to diversity, and their pledge to the project. The second idea was about how merit is being recognised and it was brought up to broaden this around the four areas <em>community</em>, <em>project</em>, <em>documentation</em> and <em>code</em>. <strong>"This is what we value. This is what we will recognise. Our promise to the community."</strong> (Noah Slater) It was agreed on creating two documents, one for the PMC charter, a second one for diversity.</p>
<h5>Discussion: Project by-laws (ongoing discussion; <a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=issues+with+terabytes+databases+list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user+order%3Adate-backward+date%3A201404#query:issues%20with%20terabytes%20databases%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20order%3Adate-backward%20date%3A200802-200810%20date%3A200812-201005%20date%3A201007-201303%20date%3A201305-201306%20date%3A201308-201404%20+page:1+mid:pxnd6vdpjuwjioqw+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>Proposal to vote in set of project by-laws that define the specific roles in this community and the decision making procedures that are used. The first draft of the by-laws has been discussed and modified accordingly and can be found <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40511017">here</a>. Comments are very welcome.</p>
<h5>Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (ongoing discussion; <a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=[VOTE]+Release+Apache+CouchDB+1.6.0-rc.3#query:[VOTE]%20Release%20Apache%20CouchDB%201.6.0-rc.3%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:2+mid:p3txsrlgmm55ienf+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>The PMC initiated a thread on moving forwards establishing an Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (CoC for short). Example Codes of Conduct from <a href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_002">Debian</a>, <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/">Python</a>, <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/">Django</a> , <a href="https://github.com/bantik/contributor_covenant">Bantik</a>, <a href="http://nodeirc.info/">Node.JS</a> and the <a href="http://blog.izs.me/post/30036893703/policy-on-trolling">Node.JS IRC channel policy</a> were as well considered and discussed as transparency, the consequences of infractions and the differentiation between minor offences and major offences, how to deal with profanity and how this applies to IRC and the moderation policy there.</p>
<h5>HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) / HIPAA 5010 / PIPEDA compliance (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=hippa+rules#query:hippa%20rules%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20date%3A201404%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+mid:pjyg2nazliijjijp+state:results">see thread</a>)</h5>
<p>Question on building applications using CouchDB while having to follow HIPAA compliance. As for the legal topic this is, the community strongly recommended the user get in touch with a lawyer and getting proper compliancy and regulatory guidance.</p>
<h5><a id="load-spike-discussion"></a>CouchDB load spike (<a href="http://markmail.org/search/?q=couchdb+load+spike#query:couchdb%20load%20spike%20list%3Aorg.apache.couchdb.user%20date%3A201404%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+mid:dztlbqyzen4q4zls+state:results">see thread</a>, see also the same question <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23330204/couchdb-load-spike-even-with-low-traffic">on StackOverflow</a>)</h5>
<p>Setup: CouchDB 1.5.0, database with < 10 GB of data in it and continuous replication. Every few hours (3-4 times per day) they recognise a huge spike that floors the load to around 1.5 and memory usage to close to 100%. It turned out there was a similar issue that was already discussed (<a href="https://gist.github.com/7601778">link to gist</a>). The user filed issue <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2231">COUCHDB-2231</a>.</p>

<h4>Use Cases, Questions and Answers</h4>
<ul>
<li>Note on a use case, written by Dave Cottlehuber (see <a href="http://markmail.org/message/6dtkpwt66f7c7755">email</a>): <strong>Creating databases for new users signing up with a CouchDB login.</strong> – A common pattern for CouchDB is to have a per-user database, because this is the only boundary where CouchDB enforces user permissions for security. It also makes replicating user data to another device very straightforwards. When you have a new user signing up with a CouchDB login, you’ll often want to create a database for them immediately. While there’s no built-in feature to do this for you, the CouchDB community have of course rolled their own like these:
