Couch store security and maintenance

[dariocravero]

Perhaps two things could be added to the couch store database module:

• security, e.g.: limit to a role
• ongoing maintenance like compactation.

What do you think about that?

Yea what were you thinking with this? Like adding roles to the _security document so only specific users had write access?

• ongoing maintenance like compaction.

Yes it might be good to add some automatic/transparent processes so the end developer doesn't have to think about it. On the other hand, I set up autocompaction on my entire database so this would be a double-edged sword for me. I think this is okay as long as it is configurable and can be disabled.
