waitForSync is unreachable about arangodb

[jsteemann]

The first part (waitForSync is not returned) is fixed now.

The second part (GET /_api/collection/collection-identifier/parameter returns error) does not look like a bug.
The API documentation does not mention GET /_api/collection/collection-identifier/parameter but only the PUT operation for it: https://github.com/triAGENS/AvocadoDB/wiki/HttpCollection#wiki-1HttpCollectionParameter

Please check and give feedback.

We could easily add a "GET .../parameter" call.

There is still a problem with the "GET /_api/collection/": I think - and we have to fix the documentation as well - that the wait for sync should only be returned for LOADED collections. Otherwise the call will automatically load the collection. Add least for "GET /_api/collection" that would be a disaster because it would load all collections.

[jsteemann]

I think then the documentation should be fixed so waitForSync will not be returned.
My last commit should be reverted and we should add GET /_api/collection/parameter instead.

[fceller]

That would be a better solution. We should also note in the documentation, that "GET" does not load the collection into memory, but ".../parameter" will do.

[jsteemann]

I agree. Will roll it back and fix it.

[jsteemann]

Fixed as follows:
Added GET /_api/collection/parameter API method
Added Wiki entry for this method
Removed the waitForSync entry from Wiki entry for GET /_api/collection/ as this call will never return the waitForSync parameter

Please check and give feedback.

Pushed the documentation to the wiki & avocadodb

But I've read the patch, it should work as expected. I've updated integration test for python driver. When it will be in mainstream branch?

[fceller]

I'll try to create a new release Tomorrow.

Looks like this particular issue is fixed. My tests are passed after brew uninstlal/install avocado --HEAD.
