-----------------------------------

             Summary: Propose removal of ?local_seq=true from the GET /db/doc API for CouchDB 2.0
                 Key: COUCHDB-2537
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2537
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: Database Core
            Reporter: Glynn Bird


Prior to CouchDB 2.0, a document could be fetched thus:

/db/8E795956?local_seq=true

{Code}
{ _id: '8E795956',
  _rev: '1-4fffae881c4d89048cf9319c2ae021a1',
  test: 'somestuff',
  _local_seq: 1 }
{Code}

with the _local_seq being returned indicating 'Document’s sequence number in current database'.

Post CouchDB2.0, this quantity makes little sense as it represents the local sequence number within the shard.

I propose that
* ?local_seq=true is deprecated
* _local_seq is no longer returned in the response
* the documentation is updated accordingly.
