Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-837:
----------------------------------------
you know -- why doesn't stale=ok just trigger a reindex also? it just serves
the reply w/o waiting for the reindex to happen.
there's no reason at all that you we should have an api where you intentionally
avoid updating an index. (the point of stale=ok is a low latency response, not
to avoid indexing)
I think just changing the behavior of stale=ok to also trigger an index update
is the best solution.

> Inspired by Matthias' latest post, at
> http://www.paperplanes.de/2010/7/26/10_annoying_things_about_couchdb.html,
> section "Views are updated on read access", I added a new value to the
> "stale" option named "partial" (possibly we need to find a better name).
> It behaves exactly like "stale=ok" but after replying to the client, it
> triggers a view update in the background.
> Patch attached.
> If no one disagrees this isn't a good feature, or suggest a better parameter
> value name, I'll commit.
