Basically I have a document, with an id, rev, type, and Content keys. The Content key holds the serialized object that is to be stored for it's value. Are there any pitfalls
with this design?  I have attached a sample below:

Hi,

I should say I'm in no way an expert, I'm starting to wrap my head around document modelling myself. I've been reading up on couchdb a couple of days now and find it really interesting.

Anyway, on to your document. First, why duplicate the manager id? Isn't there a risk of them getting out of sync?

I think you will run into many conflicts if subordinates are updated independently. Each subordinate has an id, is there another document with more information about subordinates? In that case, why not have all information in there and connect them with a managerId attribute instead?

              "|Login|":|"aalice"|
          },
          {
              "|Address|": {
                  "|Street|":|"123 Somewhere St."|,
                  "|City|":|"Kalamazoo"|,
                  "|State|":|"MI"|,
                  "|Zip|":|"12345"|
              },
              "|Hours|":|20|,
              "|Id|":|"12b6dbbc-44e8-43c2-8142-11fc6c1d23df"|,
              "|Name|":|"Eve"|,
              "|Login|":|"eeve"|
          }
      ],
      "|Id|":|"000144df-6f11-49f1-a502-e0dab3592326"|,
      "|Name|":|"6"|,
      "|Login|":|"6-login"|
  }
}

Basically the content is a Manager type object with an Id, Name, Login, and Subordinates. Subordinates are Worker's with an Id, Name, Login, Hours, and an Address. The _id and the Id of the Manager object are the same. Basically the Document object is just a wrapper around what is
given to be persisted.

Thanks,

Dale
