>    Affects Versions: 0.11

>
> since r796805 requests to views with the stale=ok option have returned partially computed index results. This changed the semantics of views. This ticket is about maintaining the old semantics.
> This should be changed so stale=ok only returns what would be returned by a normal view request. stale=partial would be an OK name for an option to provide the current behavior. 
> The best way to fix this would be to store the NewGroup sent on the partial_update cast in #group_state.partial_group instead of #group_state.group
> This will also eliminate the (rare) changes of serving inconsistent results with a regular view query.
