PUT responds with 201 but GET returns 404

[Matt Cheers]

Hi,

I have a question on behaviour I'm seeing POSTing docs to the database but then 
not always being able to immediately GET them. Generally it takes 2 attempts 
for a successful fetch. I had assumed a POST is synchronous and document would 
then be immediately available.

Not sure if it makes a difference, delayed_commits is set to false currently. 
Though I've tried both settings. I've looked at couch's durability matrix page 
and also assumed that is outside the scope of this.

Thanks, Matt

Example output:
Loading key: test-key

PUT 'http://couch:5984/keys/test-key
Updating Key: test-key Response: 201

GET 'http://couch:5984/keys/test-key
Getting Key: test-key Response: 404

PUT 'http://couch:5984/keys/test-key
Updating Key: test-key Response: 201

GET 'http://couch:5984/keys/test-key
Getting Key: test-key Response: 200
Taken 2 attempts to create.

{
   println "Loading key: ${key}"
   put(key, json)

   def attempts = 1
   while (!get(key)) {
       attempts++
       Thread.sleep(100);
       put(key, json)
   }
   println "Taken ${attempts} attempts to create."
}

def put(String key, json) {
   def params = [path: "/keys/${key}", body: json]
   def response = client.put(params)
   println "Updating Key: ${key} Response: ${response.status}"
}

def get(String key) {
   def params = [path: "/keys/${key}"]
   def response = client.get(params).data
   println "Getting API Key: ${apiKey} Response: ${response.status}"
   return response.data
}
