Nolan Lawson commented on COUCHDB-2065:
---------------------------------------
Hey Robert,
Thanks for the thoughtful responses. Largely based on the problems you
identified, we decided to abandon this idea in PouchDB as well.
Modularization would be cool, but I think in the meantime the only solution is
good documentation to help guide users towards the most robust implementation.
Luckily the Couch docs themselves are great for that!
> Overwrite a document with a single request

> Key: COUCHDB-2065
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2065
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Reporter: Nolan Lawson
>
> It would be convenient to have the option to overwrite documents with a
> single request, rather than having to GET, check the _rev, POST/PUT, possibly
> deal with conflicts, and then continue POST/PUTing until success. It could
> be something as simple as:
> {code}
> PUT localhost:5984/mydb/mydoc?force=true
> {code}
> If two callers attempt to update the same document at the same time, whoever
> gets there last would win.
> Prompted by a [discussion in
> PouchDB|https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/1388].
