Robert Newson updated COUCHDB-1337: ----------------------------------- Attachment: 0001-CouchDB-1337-Use-attachments-md5-as-ETag-if-availabl.patch Use md5 when available. > Use MD5 for attachment ETag > --------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1337 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1337 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Reporter: Jacob Wright > Assignee: Robert Newson > Priority: Minor > Attachments: > 0001-CouchDB-1337-Use-attachments-md5-as-ETag-if-availabl.patch > > > Currently attachments use the revision number of the document they're > attached to for their ETag. This can be inefficient if many attachments are > added, removed, or modified on the same document. Example: a website's assets > might be stored on a document. Whenever one file is changed every file on the > website drops out of cache. > If we could use the MD5 of the attachment for the ETag then any caches > (including the browser's) will not drop unchanged files, even if the document > to which they are attached is modified. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
