> If I make /_bulk_get compatible with PouchDB
As @dholth said, his implementation is a *PouchDB plugin*. PouchDB does not
depend on it.
> A top level array is a little better for streaming.
The streaming stuff (pouchdb-replication-stream, pouchdb-load,
socket-pouch, etc.) is a parallel effort . I consider it a long-term plan,
whereas `_bulk_get`/`_bulk_revs` is the short-term fix.
> Well, I'm fine to break compatibility,
The stance of PouchDB (and I think @daleharvey would agree) is that we will
implement whatever CouchDB implements. CouchDB is our gold standard, not RCouch
or Couchbase.
That being said, if Couchbase has a solution that handles errors (even if a
bit inelegantly), then I think we should prefer their version instead of
inventing a third version. RCouch has few users (AFAIK), but Couchbase Mobile
is pretty popular for iOS/Android development. So we would benefit by tapping
in to their ecosystem.
PouchDB's only point of contention with the Couchbase API is that we need a
JSON response rather than a multipart/mixed response. Basically if the client
says `Accept: application/json`, then the server has to return JSON.
