Partial updates would be good in the user/group/membership situation. Right now, I have to create a membership doc to store the user_id and group_id in it. If I could do partial updates, I would store all the user_ids inside a field of a group doc such as: "memberships": [user_id1, user_id2, etc] I could do this right now, but what if I want to update or delete a membership? If a group has a million users, I'd need to post the whole doc and that would definitely not scale compared to a partial update that would just send a little diff IMO.
