Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-79:
-------------------------------------
Re: "either because it doesn't have an id, or because it has an id not present in the database"
<- in CouchDB's case this is synonymous. If something exists in a database it has an id.
In general I think we agreed on behaving _bulk_docs like a proper transaction and if a DELETE
causes an error, the transaction should be aborted. We also agreed on introducing the old
behaviour with an optional member (_ignore_errors or so) that allows fire-and-forget type
of bulk requests. This might be relevant to this discussion.

> If you try to delete in _bulk_docs (by setting the attribute "_deleted" to true) a document
that doesn't exist (either because it doesn't have an id, or because it has an id not present
in the database), CouchDB replies with a happy 201 (created). This is not a good behavior:
if I am trying to delete something that's not in the database, then I am probably doing something
wrong, and I'd like to know it: the whole transaction (bulk upload) should fail.
> Also, the present behavior is inconsistent with respect to deleting with a DELETE request,
which returns a 404.
