Akshat Jiwan Sharma commented on COUCHDB-2254:
----------------------------------------------
This happens because an uppecase database name is invalid in coudhb. The
replicator tries to create a database with invalid name. It fails and returns
the error. But I agree that the error could be more descriptive. Here is the
relevant code
{error, illegal_database_name, _} ->
throw({db_not_found, DbName});
I guess it is pretty easy to throw a illegal_database_name? while db_not_found
makes sense for someone who is looking at the code it can leave some one
working with the http api or futon scratching their head.
Any way I don't think this is a major bug though :)

> has upper case characters.
> Will be helpful if error output is more specific.
