Hello,

I have a question regarding the ETag generation of CouchDb.

Our setup consists of one master node and two slaves that replicate a database 
from master (all run on CouchDb version 1.3.0). The web application gets the 
response from either slave.

Is there a way to ensure that both CouchDb slaves return the same ETag for the 
same view when they provide identical results? I tested several views and even 
when the results are identical (matching MD5 hashes) the responses contain 
different ETags from the two slaves. According to the documentation different 
properties are incorporated into the ETag generation, e.g. doc ids, user name 
etc., but these properties are the same for both slaves. Do I miss something 
obvious or is it just not possible?

Regards,
Sebastian
