Dear wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.
The page "DocumentRunnerPlugin" has been deleted by JoanTouzet: https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/DocumentRunnerPlugin?action=diff&rev1=3&rev2=4 Comment: Good future-looking idea, but it's never been implemented. - #redirect Document_runner_plugin - A Document Runner would provide functionality to run a transform function across all documents in the database. This way you could do maintenance and migrations, with incurring a bunch of http overhead. - The idea [[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-couchdb-user/200806.mbox/%3ce282921e0806130216w3d20dfdfh244ea5b491e12...@mail.gmail.com%3e|was originally floated on the couchdb-user mailing list]]. - - === Requirements === - - Ability to specify a job in a view-server like context (Javascript other language function) and have it run across all docs (like a view is), but with the additional ability to write back to the document (through the http api, so we don't have to add a socket-based update interface). - - Caveat: - - We may not be able to guarantee that runner functions see each document only once, so functions need to be aware only to modify documents that require modification. - - === Uses === - - * Changing the format of a timestamp across all docs - * Removing sensitive fields before replicating to another jurisdiction - * (View runner... slightly different) Materializing the results of group=true reduce queries into a dataset for further map/reduce processing (a common pattern in Hadoop) -
