Nolan Lawson created COUCHDB-2065: ------------------------------------- Summary: Overwrite a document with a single request Key: COUCHDB-2065 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2065 Project: CouchDB Issue Type: New Feature Security Level: public (Regular issues) Reporter: Nolan Lawson
It would be convenient to have the option to overwrite documents with a single request, rather than having to GET, check the _rev, POST/PUT, possibly deal with conflicts, and then continue POST/PUTing until success. It could be something as simple as: {code} PUT localhost:5984/mydb/mydoc?force=true {code} If two callers attempt to update the same document at the same time, whoever gets there last would win. Prompted by a [discussion in PouchDB|https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/1388]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
