Clouseau instances co-location

[Luca Morandini <lu...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

Possibly a naive question: do Clouseau instances have to run on the
same nodes CouchDB instances reside?

From the installation recipe, it looks like a Clouseau process has to
be co-located on the same VM of the CouchDB Instance.

For the sake of robustness, I'd rather have Clouseau run on a
different VM: is that at all possible?

Cheers,

Luca Morandini

You can specify the Clouseau node name in the couchdb configuration. But do note that they are still _paired_. Each couchdb node should be configured to talk to its own, separate, Clouseau node.

Thanks for the explanation.
