I've tried upgrading recover-couchdb to 1.2.0 couch codebase, but my total lack of Erlang experience and CouchDB's internal really isn't helping. :) I've contacted the maintainer of that project, hopefully it isn't that big of change. BTW, if anyone else wants to do that, I'm happy to sponsor the work. How hard would it be to just grep the compacted DB, extract data around kv_node headers and decompress Snappy data with an external, non-CouchDB-Erlang program? I'm willing to write the thing in C#, just some basic pointers to the DB structure and what data gets compressed and where the Document IDs and attachments data gets stored. Thanks. --Rudi
