Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-837:
-------------------------------------------

@Jason - Good point on idempotent GET's
@Filipe - I don't really like it. There's nothing about "stale=relaxed" that in 
any way indicates what its for. A good test might be to ask #couchdb "what does 
stale=ok do, and if stale=relaxed existed, what would you guess it does". 
Unless someone's been paying attention to this ticket I'd doubt that they're 
going to come up with "its stale=ok but starts a re-indexing pass". Then again, 
I agree with @jchris, I don't have any better ideas so its up to you.

> 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.
