[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-3276) ETag for local documents does not match _rev

["Garren Smith (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Garren Smith commented on COUCHDB-3276:
---------------------------------------

We changed the ETag to be an md5 of the document body. See here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2978. We probably need to update the documentation.

> The ETag for _local documents in CouchDB 1.6.1 was the same as the document _rev field as is the usual case for documents. I think since https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2978 the local documents now return an ETag that doesn't match the _rev field.
> The documentation at http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.0.0/api/local.html#db-local-id for local documents still states that the "The semantics are identical to accessing a standard document in the specified database".
> I'm sure there is probably an argument for making the _local document _rev match the content based ETag, but at the very least the documentation needs to call out the difference in behaviour.
