API access to the Map side of Map/Reduce pairs
----------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-76
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-76
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Wish
Components: HTTP Interface
Reporter: Chris Anderson
Priority: Minor
Everytime I create a reduce function, I also make a separate view that has a
byte-identical map (w/o the reduce), just to have access to the map that gets
generated anyway. It seems like the API could make the map side available, even
when there is a reduce. Keeping the two view functions identical is hard to do
without automating it, and the consequences of failing to keep them in sync can
be expensive.
This would require a change to the external api, because currently the only way
to distinguish between map and reduce functions is through view name. The new
way would require something like
/my-db/_view/mydesign/mymapreduce?map_only=true or somesuch.
