Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-837:
-------------------------------------
stale=relaxed was tongue in cheek. I'm not a fan either.
As long as we are bikeshedding, stale=ok is itself inferior to stale=true.
Doubless `ok` is an Erlang-ism that leaked out into the HTTP API. Why is it
include_docs=true but not stale=true?
(No reply necessary, just airing my grievances.)
> Adding stale=partial
> --------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-837
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-837
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: all released and unreleased versions
> Reporter: Filipe Manana
> Assignee: Filipe Manana
> Attachments: stale_partial.patch
>
>
> 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.
