-------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow validate_doc_update.js to be aware if the update
went through an update function before
Key: COUCHDB-1519
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1519
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Database Core
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Damjan Georgievski
It would be useful for the validate_doc_update function to "know" if the
document has been processed by an update function or is sent directly to the DB.
There are several possible ways to do it:
* allow the update function to update either the userCtx or the secObj objects,
and let that change propagate to the validate_doc_update function
* add a completely new object that will be passed to both functions. update
functions could then modify it.
* add some flag to validate_doc_update parameters to signal that the document
is direct to DB or not. But this would limit the usefulness of the feature.
Adding special attributes to the document object, in an update function, that
the validate function can check later, is not sufficient since that attribute
can be sent directly to the DB also, and will be stored in the database.
