--------------------------------------
Summary: ETag for local documents does not match _rev
Key: COUCHDB-3276
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3276
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: HTTP Interface
Reporter: Richard Ellis
The ETag for _local documents in CouchDB 1.6.1 was the same as the document
_rev field as is the usual case for documents. I think since
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2978 the local documents now
return an ETag that doesn't match the _rev field.
The documentation at
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/api/local.html#db-local-id still for local
documents states that the "The semantics are identical to accessing a standard
document in the specified database".
I'm sure there is probably an argument for making the _local document _rev
match the content based ETag, but at the very least the documentation needs to
call out the difference in behaviour.
