I wish we could specify some sort of "replication priority" on view level. The purpose is that the designer can to some extent tell the replicator what documents that should be replicated first. For example may a view full of configuration documents be more important to the functionallity of the database, compared to ordinary views with data documents. We've had scenarios where end users see that the replication may take longer than they guessed it would take ("hey, I just replicate before leaving for the train station ..."), and they just terminate the replication at some point. Then, if important configuration documents didn't make it, they database may not work as intended locally any more... I envision some sort of "priority number", where the default number leavs all documents in those views unaffected about priorty. Then I could define my config document view as "1", my translation document view as "2" and so forth. |
For documents, that appear in multiple views (and most do), a combined ranking would have to be calculated. The result might be hard to tell, even more if multiple developers are working on a big project. Also, the calculation might actually slow down replication. Configuration documents should not change that frequently, anyway.
A design, that keeps documents from being touched without need can often do more for short replication times (although this is very application specific).
a) Typically is used by the end-users on a local replica-copy. This is mainly to keep speed up, due to variable line speeds on networks around the globe.
b) Once-in-a-while has some updates to their configuration documents
From time to time we get reports about the strangest problems in the databases, and sometimes it turns out that the end-user (typically a sales person :-)) hasn't finished properly the replication before he left the office.
Finally, I very much agree with you that such a feature would probably take some time to calculate, and overall slow down the replication process. But again, I (errr, humble caugh ...) just want it as an *option*.
