It's probably because of `list_to_existing_atom` in https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/a1fc8075f3e86ec2242eedd2b1bbbd15758515e7/src/couch/src/couch_flags_config.erl#L161 There may be a chicken-and-egg problem: we're trying to load the flags before we're loading the first instance or anything creating the partitioned` atom. We should see if `list_to_existing_atom` actually protects us from unauthorized users creating unreasonable amount of atoms (normally are not allowed unrestricted access to populate .ini config files). Or, we could have to predefined somewhere a list of expected atoms which may appear in flags. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
