title: Setting a couchdb maximum database size
body: <p>What is the best way to restrict the size of an individual couchdb database? My server has thousands of databases for allowing users to sync with (kind of like dropbox) and I need to put restrictions on the maximum size. </p>
  
  <p>I am able to use an external process to poll the database for size, but it seems unsatisfactory to be doing this to thousands of databases at a regular intervals -- and even in a short period like an hour .. it is very easy for a user to sync and massively exceed my database size constraint.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
