This utility emerged from the need to delete about 20k documents from a CouchDB database with more than 600k documents. As I did not want to delete every document by hand and had no other way to delete documents by a specific filter.
This utility emerged from the need to delete about 20k documents from a CouchDB database with more than 600k documents. As I did not want to delete every document by hand and had no other way to delete documents by a specific filter I wrote this to fetch documents from a view which filters my documents for me and then deletes them efficiently by using Go routines.

Usage of ./clean_couch:
--baseurl="http://localhost:5984": BaseURL of your CouchDB instance

--concurrency=20: How many delete requests should get processed concurrently?

## Warnings
@ -34,3 +35,5 @@ Usage of ./clean_couch:
- If you set the concurrency above 1024 either `clean_couch` or even the CouchDB server might break because of a limit in open file descriptors
- If the database has many views you could overload your server because views need to get recalculated
(My CouchDB server survived a concurrency of 100 with minimal load)
- This tool will not place nice with your CouchDB if you configure it wrong
- Tripple-check your View does only contain what you want to delete and you used the right view. This tool does not come with a safety-net!
