Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-1824:
-------------------------------------------

[~benoitc], yea, I saw that, but hadn't figure how to combine it with RFC-style definition. I really like such style and feels that it more developer friendly than pseudo-code. Probably, I spend not enough time for this issue.

[~snej], I respect your experience with TouchDB and writing compatible replicator - your protocol definition looks solid and detailed, but I was fear to blindly copy-past anything from it by one simple reason: compatible things may be different in details and I was aware that Couchbase todays is very different from CouchDB unlike it was at his very first days. Probably, I have to consult with you first - than that's my fault and I'm sorry for that.

Guys, I'm not an expert in this question and, probably, I have to implement replicator by my own to understand and document all the important bits or at least be able to defend any points of the definition. But until then please be so kind to transform any critics into patches - that's would be more productive and helpful for all of us (:

Reopening till we reach some consensus about the replication protocol or till I'm personally understand how this things works.

> Though it's in some ways an internal detail, it might be nice to provide a canonical description of CouchDB's replication protocol (algorithm, really) in the documentation. See links at: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Replication#Protocol_Documentation
