compact for everyone
Hello CouchDB-Friends,
i just playing around with couchdb 0.10.0 and i was wondering why i
can trigger compaction without being admin,
is this a bug? Or a Feature?

It's sort of neither. Compaction is idempotent and we encourage developers to code as though they never know when it will occur. On the other hand, it does use resources so maybe it's best off restricted to admins.
The place to discuss making a change is the dev@ list. I'll tell you, this would be a one-line patch (grep the source for check_is_admin) so it's a great way to get started as a developer.
Please continue the discussion on the dev list.
