Selective replication with CouchDB

Question

I\'m currently evaluating possible solutions to the follwing problem:

A set of data entries must be synchonized between multiple clients, where each client may only view

Answer 1

this begs for replication filters. you filter outbound replication based on whatever criteria you impose, and give the owner of the target unrestricted access to their own copy.

i haven't had the opportunity to play with replication filters directly, but the idea would be that each doc would have some information about who has access to it, and the filtering mechanism would then allow outbound replication of only those documents that you have access to. replication from the target back to the master would be unrestricted, allowing for the master to remain a rollup copy, and potentially multicast changes to overlapping sets of data.
