I have an elasticsearch cluster setup with 2 nodes and it's using the  
couchdb river to index data from a single couchdb instance. This is running  
on EC2 and I have a load balancer setup on the elasticsearch cluster. I'm  
wondering if I can create another couchdb instance and cluster them  
together using bi-directional replication, and then point the couchdb river  
setup at the couchdb load balancer endpoint

For example-

ES Cluster:  
hosts: elasticsearch-1, elasticsearch-2  
load balancer endpoint: elasticsearch-lb

Couchdb Cluster:  
hosts: couchdb-1, couchdb-2  
load balancer endpoint: couchdb-lb

Then setup river like:

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/my\_db/\_meta' -d '{ "type" : "couchdb", "couchdb" : { "host" : "couchdb-lb", "port" : 5984, "db" : "my\_db", "filter" : null }, "index" : { "index" : "my\_db", "type" : "my\_db", "bulk\_size" : "100", "bulk\_timeout" : "10ms" }}'

Anyone know if this setup will work?
