Hello, I've began using and experimenting with CouchDB and I was looking into doing bulk insert of documents. I'd like to do them in a transactional fashion (insert all of them or rollback and don't insert any). The HTTP API Reference talks about two modes:
CouchDB supports two different modes for updating (or inserting) documents > using the bulk documentation system. Each mode affects both the state of > the documents in the event of system failure, and the level of conflict > checking performed on each document. The two modes are: > *non-atomic* > > The default mode is non-atomic, that is, CouchDB will only guarantee that > some of the documents will be saved when you send the request. The response > will contain the list of documents successfully inserted or updated during > the process. In the event of a crash, some of the documents may have been > successfully saved, and some will have been lost. > However, there's no reference about the other mode? Using the search bar in the doc returns no results about an atomic mode and it doesn't seem clear how to use either of these modes for bulk inserts. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
