replicator instructions

[Stephen Bartell <sn...@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

Where does the replicator store its instruction docs?  I'm not talking about the _replicator database.  I read in some jira issue that the _replicator database may even go away.  

Thanks!

Robert, thats where the confusion started.  I had read in a thread that the _replicator database would not be exposed in the future.  I guess I warped that statement into meaning that its "going away".

Jens, because I thought _replciator was going away, I had figured theres some other place to persist replicator instruction docs.

I should have thought on it more, _replicator database is _the_ solution to resuming replications between server restarts.

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion guys.  Thats what I get for not brewing on my question a little more.

Best,
sb

Stephen,

Also, the _replicator database isn't "going away". What you might have
seen is a conversation about not exposing it as a full-fledged
database, an action which would reduce confusion and problems for many
people. We've not decided to do that yet but, if we did, we'd prepare
release notes with the details. We would certainly not be removing the
ability for couchdb to persist replication jobs to disk for resumption
after network issues or server crashes.

B.

What do you mean by “instruction docs”? The _replicator database is the only thing that fits that description.
