Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The "How_to_deploy_view_changes_in_a_live_environment" page has been changed by HenrikHofmeister. http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/How_to_deploy_view_changes_in_a_live_environment -------------------------------------------------- New page: When needing to upload changes to existing design docs, to avoid having everything hang for potentially hours while generating the views - follow the descriptions below: == Background information: == CouchDb places view generated data in files named based on the design docs contents (not name, id, revision). This means that 2 design docs with identical contents will share view files. == Approach: == '''Example:''' http://localhost:5984/mydb/_design/users needs to be updated with a new view So the simple approach is: 1. Upload the updated design doc to _design/users_tmp 2. query the new views (to trigger generation) 3. when generation is complete - copy _design/users_tmp to _design/users. This will cause the already built index to be shared by the 2 views. 4. delete _design/users_tmp at your discretion (or keep it in place for the next release) To copy a document use: curl -X COPY <url to source> -H "Destination: <url to dest>" So for our example it would be curl -X COPY http://localhost:5984/mydb/_design/users_tmp -H "Destination: http://localhost:5984/mydb/_design/users"; '''Note: This approach will work for normal couch views, couchdb-lucene views (fulltext), and should also work for bigcouch clusters - to my understanding'''
