Volker Mische commented on COUCHDB-837:
---------------------------------------

@Paul: I agree, stale=ok should keep it semantics for off-peak view rebuilding

@Simon: First I prefer not cluttering the query string options. Therefore something like stale=butupdate. But there's even a bigger problem:
reindex=true doesn't work for me. Think of the default values:
 - no stale, no reindex parameter => normal behaviour, means reindexing
 - stale=ok, reindex=true => return stale, but start reindexing
 - stale=ok, reindex=false => return stale, but don't reindex (current stale=ok behavior)
 - stale=ok, no reindex parameter => and now? should the default reindex value change to "false" when stale==ok?

@Jira: Either you don't have a preview button, or you are so cluttered I can't find it (which isn't better)

> Inspired by Matthias' latest post, at http://www.paperplanes.de/2010/7/26/10_annoying_things_about_couchdb.html, section "Views are updated on read access", I added a new value to the "stale" option named "partial" (possibly we need to find a better name).
> It behaves exactly like "stale=ok" but after replying to the client, it triggers a view update in the background.
> Patch attached.
> If no one disagrees this isn't a good feature, or suggest a better parameter value name, I'll commit.
