Bad special document member: __VERSION__

2012-12-28 Thread Paulo Edgar Castro 

Hi all,

I just bumped into this error in the subject.
Upon further digging as per commit 
d748a328aec166047c81bcaf3dec6b0a885a2088, keys starting with an 
underscore are not accepted as valid...


DB=http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb;
curl -X PUT $DB
curl -H Content-Type:application/json  -d 
'{docs:[{key:baz,_name:bazzel},{key:bar,_name:barry}]}' -X 
POST $DB/_bulk_docs


{error:doc_validation,reason:Bad special document member: _name}

Some modules I'm using as part of a project try to serialize a whole 
class and some of the keys are serialized with underscores.

This means that CouchDB stops being an option for storage.

Is there a good reason for this design decision ?
Couldn't the underscore keys be validated against the set of reserved 
words or similar ?

Could this be something not serving a useful purpose ?

Also, I couldn't find any meaningful caveat about this in the wiki ...

Regards,

All top-level properties beginning with _ are reserved for internal
uses, but you can put any named property at a deeper level.

Hey which couchdb version are you using?...is this 1.2? Or later?. I
noticed that an underscore was used for reserved words so I just  prepend
some some special characters in its place to avoid that.

Easier would be something like { data: your object here } though.
