Summary: Remove reserved metadata from documents Key: COUCHDB-1725 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1725 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber CouchDB treats some fields specially (_id, _rev, _attachments), requiring a transformation process when reading and writing documents.

Custom HTTP headers is an obvious solution, are there others? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
