New Features and Behaviour Changes in 2.0.0 Build #1672
New statistics have been added to understand the cross data center replication streams. The source cluster will show information about each XDCR including document mutation to be replicated.
For more information, see Section 6.4, “Viewing Bucket and Cluster Statistics”.

Known Issues in 2.0.0 Build #1672
Installation and Upgrade
It is not possible to perform an upgrade between Couchbase Server 2.0 pre-releases including beta, or to perform an offline upgrade from Couchbase Server 1.8 to a pre-release or beta of Couchbase Server 2.0. To upgrade between these versions use cbbackup to backup your data, delete the existing installation, install the new version, and restore the stored data.
For more information, see Section 5.6, “Backup and Restore”, Appendix B, Uninstalling Couchbase Server.
Documents identified as Non-JSON stored within Couchbase Server may appear as binary, or text-encoded binary data within the UI.
Issues: MB-7069
During periods of moderate CPU load on the Couchbase Server
cluster, you may see warnings that IP address seems to
have changed. Unable to listen to node X.X.X.X.
Command-line Tools
The cbbackup, cbrestore,
and cbtransfer command-line tools require the
zlib module for Python to have been
installed. If Python was installed from source, you must have
enabled zlib using the
--with-zlib option during the build process.
Issues: MB-7256
For more information, see Section 5.6, “Backup and Restore”, Appendix B, Uninstalling Couchbase Server.
Indexing and Querying
Accessing a recently created view (with other, existing active views) may return a error if the corresponding design document and view definition have not been replicated across the cluster. The error return will be returned in error of the view output detailing the missing design document. The workaround is to add views and design documents to your node or cluster after you have performed rebalance. For more information about resolving issues with Couchbase Views, see Appendix D, Troubleshooting Views (Technical Background).
Note also that stopping a rebalance operation on a cluster may take a long time if compaction and indexing operations are in progress on the cluster at the point of rebalance. Again, the workaround is to add views and index and query views after you have performed compaction or rebalance. For more information about rebalance, and considerations on when to rebalance, see Section 5.7, “Rebalancing”.
