stale-ok view queries can return inconsistent partial results
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-736
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-736
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.11
Reporter: Chris Anderson
since r796805 requests to views with the stale=ok option have returned
partially computed index results. This changed the semantics of views. This
ticket is about maintaining the old semantics.
This should be changed so stale=ok only returns what would be returned by a
normal view request. stale=partial would be an OK name for an option to provide
the current behavior.
The best way to fix this would be to store the NewGroup sent on the
partial_update cast in #group_state.partial_group instead of #group_state.group
This will also eliminate the (rare) changes of serving inconsistent results
with a regular view query.
