CouchDB 1.2.0: Performance, Security, API, Core and Replication Improvements
CouchDB 1.2.0 was released on April 6th. The linked post provides all the details of the new version, but here are some important improvements included with the new release:
- Performance: added a native JSON parser
- Performance: optional file compression for database and view index files
- Performance: a new replicator implementation. More reliable, faster, configurable.
- Security: the
_usersdatabase and information in the_replicationdatabases are not longer readable by everyone - Core: added support for automatic compaction. Automatic compaction is off by default, but can be enabed through Futon or the
.inifile and configured to run based on multiple variables:- A threshold for the file_size to disk_size ratio (say 70%)
- A time window specified in hours and minutes (e.g 01:00-05:00)
- Compaction can be cancelled if it exceeds the closing time.
- Compaction for views and databases can be set to run in parallel
- If there’s not enough space (2 × data_size) on the disk to complete a compaction, an error is logged and the compaction is not started.
