[jira] Commented: (COUCHDB-650) Add "now" option for ?since parameter on _changes

["Chris Anderson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12832859#action_12832859 ] 

Chris Anderson commented on COUCHDB-650:
----------------------------------------

The problem with since=now is that it can lead to missed updates.

There should be a ticket to make view responses include the view_seq and to expose doc._local_seq via a GET parameter.

It's much better to know what seq your state is current as of, than to miss updates.

> As per a discussion on IRC with mikeal, jan_____, whartung, and rnewson:
> Having _changes?since="now" allows clients to listen to only new changes without making two requests (one to extract seq from /db, and one _changes).
