nickva opened a new pull request #1619: Implement replicator forced session refresh
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/1619
 
 
   Force couch_replicator_auth_session plugin to refresh the session periodically.
   Normally it is not needed as the session would be refreshed when requests start
   failing with a 401 (authentication) or 403 (authorization) errors. In some
   cases when anonymous writes are allowed to the database and a VDU function is
   used to forbid writes based on the authenticated in username, requests with an
   expired session cookie will not fail with a 401 and the session will not be
   refreshed. When set, the value should be less than the minimum session timeout
   for any of the replication endpoints. For example, for CouchDB, the session
   timeout is 600 by default so the value would be set to something like 550.
