Buckets

Collections of documents, called buckets, are managed together. All documents belong to a bucket and all documents that are part of a bucket must be fully specified together.

To create or update a new document in, e.g. bucket mop, one must PUT the entire set of documents already in mop along with the new or modified document. Any documents not included in that PUT will be automatically deleted in the created revision.

This feature allows the separation of concerns when delivering different categories of documents, while making the delivered payload more declarative.
