Attachments and conflicts

[Andrew Melo <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I'm working on a project to coallate various log files written by
different programs into a single couch document to make some debugging
we've been working on easier. The way I have it set up is there are
different perl scripts that sit and watch various log
files/directories, and once a new log shows up, it attaches it to the
document that corresponds to a per-task document in the DB.

If one log, agentA uploads logA as an attachment to the document, and
then agentB uploads logB as an attachment to the document (but doesn't
mention logA), what happens? Will a conflict get raised? Will logA get
removed?

best regards,
Andrew

You can have multiple attachments per CouchDB document. As long as the
attachments are uploaded with different ids they won’t overwrite each
other.
