Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1367: ---------------------------------------- Correct, 'monotonically incrementing' means that the number always goes up but does *not* imply that it always goes up by exactly 1. Because it sorta kind *sounds* like that, I clarified with 'never goes down' and tried a synonym for monotonic. The changes feed will certainly have gaps, but no row N will have a lower update_seq than any previously seen row. monotonic |ˌmänəˈtänik| adjective 1 Mathematics (of a function or quantity) varying in such a way that it either never decreases or never increases. > When settings revs_limit on db - the db increases its update_seq counter when > viewing stats - but not when getting changes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COUCHDB-1367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1367 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HTTP Interface > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Any > Reporter: Henrik Hofmeister > Assignee: Bob Dionne > Priority: Minor > Labels: revs_limit > > If you put a number to _revs_limit on a db (to update it) - the > http://host/dbname/ info document gets an increase in update_seq number - > however the changes feed does not contain this change (while its not a > change). This causes the update_seq in the dbinfo doc and the last seq in the > changes feed to differ - which breaks any application depending on the > update_seq number as the expected sequence size of the db (in my case - > couchdb-lucene that will only respond to stale requests because it thinks its > not up to date) > I know this is an edge case - but still its something fairly fundamental - > that clearly is not working as intended. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
