Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-82:
-------------------------------------
CouchDB streams view results directly from the index to the client, there is no
way to know in advance how big a result set is and buffering everything to do a
count is not a good idea. won't fix. a workaround is a reduce function to do
the counting for you.
> total_rows should be the number of rows returned if the count parameter is
> not supplied

> I need the ability to paginate though a subset of a view. I make view
> requests with startkey, endkey, and count. I would like to paginate through
> these rows, but I cannot know the total rows between startkey and endkey
> without making an extra view which adds up the totals.
> It would be much better if total_rows, returned in the view, reflected the
> number of rows that would be returned had the count parameter not been
> supplied.
