Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-1950:
----------------------------------------
Rather than this flurry of idea tickets, could we step back and write a design
document on how all this interplays? I'm not getting a strong feeling that the
current system (with its warts) is completely understood by you given the
suggestions being made. This is a lot of tickets, each warranting its own
thread of discussion, without any coherent narrative or goal.

> Issue Type: Improvement

> This was discussed at CouchConf in Vancouver last month, but didn't see a
> hook here I could refer to in another conversation, so…
> It'd be great if a design document could include a conflict resolver
> function, in the vein of other "app logic" handler hooks like
> validate_doc_write. I imagine it would look something like either "function
> (currentWinner, nextWinningestLoser, parent)" (simply called multiple times
> if more than 2 leafs) or simply "function (arrayOfDocs, revisionHistor)" — if
> it returns a document, that's the winner, if not the next design document in
> line gets a pass at it. (Bonus: if it throws, the conflict stays no matter
> what other resolvers say?)
