Hi CouchDB users, I don't know if this is a known issue or not, but I've been experiencing strange behaviour in version 1.1.1 after initiating compaction. Even though there's already a doc with the _id value of "dummy" in my database, if I want to have it re-inserted after a compact operation is started, 9 times out of 10, I receive an "ok":true notification. Occasionally I'm seeing the expected conflict error.
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" http://hostname:7002/test/_compact {"ok":true} $ curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Referer: http://hostname:7002/"; http://hostname:7002/test -d '{ "_id": "dummy" }' {"ok":true,"id":"dummy","rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"} $ curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" http://hostname:7002/test/_compact {"ok":true} $ curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Referer: http://hostname:7002/"; http://hostname:7002/test -d '{ "_id": "dummy" }' {"ok":true,"id":"dummy","rev":"1-967a00dff5e02add41819138abb3284d"} How is this possible? Given that I sometimes get an "ok" confirmation, but sometimes get a "conflict error" for the very same request sent to the database with the very same content, I don't really feel secure about the integrity of the service. I'm thinking that the issue is related to the fact that the database already had accepted a doc with the same id and content, but still, undeterministic behaviour is not something I like. Do you have a clue on what might be going on? (I wasn't able to reproduce under 1.1.0. Used a single-node instance with no replication set up and no clients connecting to the service) Thanks, Viktor -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: Morgan Stanley is not acting as a municipal advisor and the opinions or views contained herein are not intended to be, and do not constitute, advice within the meaning of Section 975 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
