Benjamin Young commented on COUCHDB-1303:
-----------------------------------------
Good points. :)
Given that, we'd need a straight "wrapper" for the _bulk_docs endpoint, but
with some user-created handling code:
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/api/database/bulk-api.html#post--db-_bulk_docs
Likely the perfect thing for someone to explore as a plugin. :)
> Add a _bulk_update handler similar to _update but for bulk document changes

> _update handlers are great (and getting better!) for building RESTful API's
> inside CouchDB. One limitation I found tonight is that _update can only do a
> single document at a time. If the API I'm building needs to update multiple
> docs (in a similar fashion to _bulk_docs), then an outside "proxy" script is
> required. It would be ideal to have a _bulk_update handler to allow for the
> same functionality as _update, but with the ability to insert multiple
> documents at once.
> Perhaps the current _update handler API could be extended to support multiple
> IDs/documents, but a separate API endpoint would be seem reasonable if needed.
> Thanks for considering this idea.
