-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Error message provides no help: Uncaught server error: 
{case_clause,{[]}}
                 Key: COUCHDB-1511
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1511
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2
            Reporter: Isaac Z. Schlueter


When PUTing a _users doc, if you forget the `roles:[]` field, you get this 
error, which doesn't help figure out the problem at all.

Suggestion:
1. _users docs should get a role:[] and type:"user" by default if these fields 
are missing.
2. If there is an error in the _users doc, it should say "Invalid user 
document", or something else indicating that the problem happened because the 
data was bad (and not, say, because the server is crashing or views are messed 
up, or whatever else can happen in this crazy world.)
