I just ran a program to add 6,412 new documents to a freshly-created, empty database.
All of the documents were added, but CouchDB reported an error (HTTP status 409 Conflict) for one of them. This is troubling for several reasons: The document did not previously exist, but was being added for the first time, like all the others. It was also in no way different than those; in particular, the JSON did not contain a _rev field. Despite the error, the document was successfully added. This would appear, therefore, to be a spurious error. Could this be a bug? This is Cloudant's hosted version (CouchDB 1.0.2, Cloudant build 1.3.22).
