----------------------------------------
Summary: Add flag to the changes API to return only new changes
Key: COUCHDB-1501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1501
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JavaScript View Server
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Daniel Gonzalez
Priority: Minor
As discussed in this thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201206.mbox/%3CCAAOi-OHB6%3DYu%2Bt%3DWkiFAypQAfnv%3DQd-PL4tELZNL1C1-TQvtWw%40mail.gmail.com%3E
I copy paste part of the conversation.

I am subscribing to the _changes API. My database is quite big, and each time I
restart my client, I get all old notifications. I only need the new
notifications, since the moment that I subscribe to the feed.
I have seen that there is a "since" parameter, but this is not helping me
further, because I do not know what is the last document sequence number. So I
would need one of the following:
- a method to get the last sequence number to use as value for "since"
- a flag to tell the _changes API to just give me the changed *from now on*.
This would be the most clean solution, since it saves me a request to get the
since parameter (which can be outdated anyway very fast). Is there something
like this?

I ended up going the GET /dbname route
I guess there is no specific flag for the _changes API to request future
changes...
