  === Transactional Semantics with Bulk Updates ===
  
- In short, there are none (by design). However, you can ask CouchDB to check that all the documents in your {{{_bulk_docs}}} request pass all your validation functions. If even one fails, none of the documents are written. You can select this mode by including {{{"all_or_nothing":true}}} in your request. With this mode, if all documents pass validation, then all documents will be updated, even if that introduces a conflict for the affected documents.

If even one fails, none of the documents are written. You can select this mode by including {{{"all_or_nothing":true}}} in your request. With this mode, if all documents pass validation, then all documents will be updated, even if that introduces a conflict for some or all of the documents.
  
  Bulk updates work independently of replication, the documents updated in a {{{_bulk_docs}}} request will not be replicated as a group, and will not even necessarily be replicated in the same order as they were in the request.
