             Summary: Remove reserved metadata from documents
                 Key: COUCHDB-1725
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1725
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber


CouchDB treats some fields specially (_id, _rev, _attachments),
requiring a transformation process when reading and writing documents.

Removing the fields would allow higher performance and alternative
data types. A question remains as to where they would go, as not all
map to a standard HTTP header (_rev maps neatly to ETag,
though). Custom HTTP headers is an obvious solution, are there others?
