Alex Markham commented on COUCHDB-1364:
---------------------------------------

We have sidestepped this issue with a replication filter for 3 troublesome documents with many open_revs. Everything seems smooth again now.

> We have a setup where replication from a 1.1.1 couch is hanging - this is WAN replication which previously worked 1.0.3 <-> 1.0.3.
> Replicating from the 1.1.1 -> 1.0.3 showed an error very similar to COUCHDB-1340 - which I presumed meant the url was too long. So I upgraded the 1.0.3 couch to our 1.1.1 build which had this patched.
> However - the replication between the 2 1.1.1 couches is hanging at a certain point when doing continuous pull replication - it doesn't checkpoint, just stays on "starting" however, when cancelled and restarted it gets the latest documents (so doc counts are equal). The last calls I see to the source db when it hangs are multiple long GETs for a document with 2051 open revisions on the source and 498 on the target.

> with no stack trace.
> Comparing the open_revs=all count on the documents with many open revs shows differing numbers on each side of the replication WAN and between different couches in the same datacentre. Some of these documents have not been updated for months. Is it possible that 1.0.3 just skipped over this issue and carried on replicating, but 1.1.1 does not?
> I know I can hack the replication to work by updating the checkpoint seq past this point in the _local document, but I think there is a real bug here somewhere.
