Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-837:
-------------------------------------

stale=relax

Or a little tougher for non-native speakers:
stale=relaxed

I must say I like that stale=ok triggers no writes. It makes CouchDB less complex. If stale=ok triggers background indexing it feels like a white lie that GET is idempotent. If the disk becomes full between two GET stale=ok queries (and only 2 queries, no additional writes), I would not want to see different results, and certainly not a 500.

> 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.
