As advertised? The only intrinsic advertisement is the word MOVE
itself.
MOVE is commonly understood to be an atomic sequence of copy & delete.
In CouchDB (single or multi-node) MOVE is not atomic.
If there is a problem with expectation, this can be solved with
documentation.
I don't think we can implement MOVE for multi-node CouchDB without
too much effort (if at all). This is much like the old bulk_docs
behaviour
that we dropped for the same reasons.
I don't think documentation can help here :)
