Description

CouchDB creates a "foo.view.compact" file in the view directory ("view_index_dir") when you run compact against a view.

I'd really like to be able to specify another directory where this ".compact" file is created and worked on. This is especially helpful when it's difficult to run compaction because you run out of disk space on the same device.
