benzittlau / Mongoid Hierarchy Excerpt
Created May 4, 2011 21:45
Why you have to be careful using versions in Mongoid
Mongoid/Hierarchy
# Get all child +Documents+ to this +Document+, going n levels deep if
# necessary. This is used when calling update persistence operations from
# the root document, where changes in the entire tree need to be
# determined. Note that persistence from the embedded documents will
# always be preferred, since they are optimized calls... This operation
# can get expensive in domains with large hierarchies.
#
# @example Get all the document's children.
