Implement Backup and Restore for CouchDB
The recommended method for doing full backups in CouchDB
has been a simple filesystem copy of the data files. This
is because CouchDB stores data in wholly contained append
only files. For example, when a user creates a database,
a corresponding <database-name>.couch file is created in
the database directory.
The backup functionality has been implemented by compressing
the database directory and then encrypting it and sending it
over to store in Swift. Similarly, the restore functionality
has been implemented by fetching the files from Swift and
uncompressing them into the database directory. After this,
the ownership of the directory needs to be updated.
To test the changes, follow the steps:
- Create a CouchDB instance
- Access the admin console called Futon using the following
url: http://10.0.0.5:5984/_utils/
- Create a database from there and create one or more documents
- Create a backup of this CouchDB instance
- Create another CouchDB instance from the backup created above
- Access the admin console for this new instance and verify that
the database created above is there
couchdb client library for the integration tests has been added
to global-requirements: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/285191/
