How Couch query parameters work

This is a table showing a relationship between CouchDB view and _all_docs query parameters start_key, end_key, descending and inclusive_end. Obvious things to notice: 1) Start key always included 2) inclusive_end doesn't affect starting key 3) from A to B asc not equal from B to A desc.

 start_key | end_key | inclusive_end | descending |
                                                    [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 ]
 null      | null    | true          | false      |   1 ----------------> 6

Prereq

Bench CPU and disk of VM debian/jessie64

Setup

Host: MBP Intel i7 4 cores, RAM 16GB. Guest: 1 cpu, 4096 memory. Surprisingly this is better than more memory and/or more cpu cores setup.

Compare --ioapic and --acpi flags.

TL;DR

Turn both on. Even though ioapic shouldn't be relevant on 1 cpu and acpi said to be better off for perf boost,

Install Prometheus on Debian

install gosu
