            Bug ID: 28430
           Summary: debuginfod should support a read-only database mode
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debuginfod
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

For purposes of scaling workers against a shared database, this sort of thing
should work:

  debuginfod -d 'file:///PATH?mode=ro' -R -Z ..

which would force read-only operation.  (Presumably, the PATH represents a
database that some other debuginfod is populating/grooming.)

It could be enough to have a flag that suppresses startup-time DDL application,
grooming, traversal, and scanning, leaving only the libmicrohttpd-related
threads.
