[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-605) _update handler doesn't conflict for existing document

["Benjamin Young (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-605?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13088260#comment-13088260 ] 

Benjamin Young commented on COUCHDB-605:
----------------------------------------

I see this as part of the benefit/usefulness of _update--that you can, as needed, ignore the MVCC pattern and update a doc regardless of matching _rev's. However, it should be possible to implement this by comparing a "rev" query param to the doc._rev if an existing ID is used. Sadly, (due to issue COUCHDB-648) it's not possible to send 409 Conflict error "by hand" (or any other developer chosen status code).

Basically, _update handlers seem to need a bit more love before they'll be completely useful for stand-along apps or APIs built on top of CouchDB.

> And it really updated the document.
> What i expected here is error: conflict because document with such _id already existed and i didn't provide _rev to _update handler.
