replicate attachments without Base64 encoding
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-163
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-163
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Database Core
            Reporter: Adam Kocoloski
            Priority: Minor


CouchDB currently replicates attachments by inlining them in the JSON representation of the document.  This puts a load on the DB in the case of large attachments.  It might be possible to avoid inlining attachments by

a) adding a {new_edits, false} equivalent option in the standalone attachment API, or

b) accepting a multipart format that would allow JSON docs and binary attachments to be transmitted in one shot, or

c) something I haven't thought of yet

Regards, Adam
