[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2065) Overwrite a document with a single request

["Robert Newson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2065?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13902044#comment-13902044 ] 

Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2065:
----------------------------------------

Always introducing a *conflict* on write is a kosher alternative, though COUCHDB-1948 discusses the very real performance issue associated with that.

> It would be convenient to have the option to overwrite documents with a single request, rather than having to GET, check the _rev, POST/PUT, possibly deal with conflicts, and then continue POST/PUTing until success.  It could be something as simple as:
> {code}
> PUT localhost:5984/mydb/mydoc?force=true 
> {code}
> If two callers attempt to update the same document at the same time, whoever gets there last would win.
> Prompted by a [discussion in PouchDB|https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/1388].
