Damien Katz commented on COUCHDB-1084:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback on the code style, we definitely want to clean it up
before commiting. Right now I'm more interested on the performance impact and
how fruitful removing the btree lookup is. I'm hoping this patch will improve
performance for all writes, both inserts and updates, but I don't have time set
up benchmarks right now.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1084

>
> The CouchDB update process has an unnecessary btree lookup, where it reads
> the values in bulks, checks for conflicts, writes the docs to disk, updates
> the values appropriately and writes them to the btree out in a second step.
> It's possible to avoid this second step, and instead do all the checking, doc
> writing and value transformation in a single btree lookup, thereby reducing
> the number of btree traversals and disk IO.
