[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1415) Re-insering a document silently fails after compact is executed

["Eric Ross (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1415?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13788925#comment-13788925 ] 

Eric Ross commented on COUCHDB-1415:
------------------------------------

Since the fix is obviously not easy to implement and is slow in coming, it would be nice to add some warning to the API docs that says not to do this when compactions are happening.  Seemingly random lost documents can greatly hinder the credibility of CouchDB (of which I am a serious fan).  Let me know if you want me to write something up for the docs.

>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1

> When a document is re-inserted after a compact operation using the same contents it was originally created, the insert operation is silently ignored, leaving the client unaware of the fact it's document is not available in the database.
> Can be reproduced using the following sequence of steps:
> alias curl='curl -H "Content-Type: application/json"'
> url="http://localhost:5984/database"
> 1 curl -X PUT $url
> 2 curl -X POST $url -d '{"_id": "bug", "key": "value"}'
> 3 curl -X DELETE "$url/bug?rev=1-59414e77c768bc202142ac82c2f129de"
> 4 curl -X POST "$url/_compact"
> 5 curl -X POST $url -d '{"_id": "bug", "key": "value"}'
> 6 curl -X GET "$url/bug"
>   (bug here)
> 1 {"ok":true}
>   201
> 2 [{"ok":true,"id":"bug","rev":"1-59414e77c768bc202142ac82c2f129de"}]
>   201
> 3 {"ok":true,"id":"bug","rev":"2-9b2e3bcc3752a3a952a3570b2ed4d27e"}
>   200
> 4 {"ok":true}
>   202
> 5 [{"ok":true,"id":"bug","rev":"1-59414e77c768bc202142ac82c2f129de"}]
>   201
> 6 {"error":"not_found","reason":"deleted"}
>   404
> CouchDB shouldn't report "ok" on step 5 and then go on to claim that the doc is deleted. Also, it seems to work on second try:
> 7 curl -X POST $url -d '{"_id": "bug", "key": "value"}'
> 8 curl -X GET "$url/bug"
> 7 {"ok":true,"id":"bug","rev":"3-674f864b73df1c80925e48436e21d550"}
>   201
> 8 {"_id":"bug","_rev":"3-674f864b73df1c80925e48436e21d550","key":"value"}
>   200
