Dale Harvey commented on COUCHDB-1950:
--------------------------------------
Sorry I meant 'prune'
A design document based conflict resolution function wouldnt discard users
writes, its a mechanism to allow users to more easily do what we already
suggest they do to resolve conflicts, write a new document and/or delete
conflicting leafs, a read resolver is similiar however the conflicts would
still exist, which isnt a particularly a bad thing however it makes the
semantics of all_docs / views and changes more complicated
> ddoc-based conflict resolution

> 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?)
