Spidermonkey's sandboxing capabilities vary release to release. As I
recall, we had full sandboxing working with earlier releases, but
something changed in 1.7 and we took it out.

Grasping the concepts involved in map/reduce might end up being a
significant hurdle to CouchDB adoption so I would encourage features
that assist in that regard. Sandboxing might also be necessary to
enforce whatever is ultimately CouchDB's security model.
Spidermonkey must have sandboxing capabilities if it runs the
javascript for both the Firefox browser and the web pages it loads.
Paul's case of caching large objects is something to consider (and a
reason my previous email was not strictly correct) but could perhaps
be handled more formally or left to custom view servers.

Should CouchDB not restrict defining state outside the map function?
I.e. you should not be able to declare a counter outside the
function?

You can't maintain a state across calls to map functions in this

functions can be called in any order or in parallel, any number of
times on
a particular document and in completely separate environments.
They should
not have any side effects or depend on any outside state.
You should read up on Google's MapReduce and maybe functional
programming in
general in order to understand how CouchDB works.
If you just want to number the results of your view, that can be
easily done
by the calling code.

Hi,
I've got the following view:
count = 0;
function(doc) {
if(doc.type == "document") {
count = count + 1
emit(doc._id, count);
}
}
The idea is that I get a list of documents, each having a counter
value which is incremental. I expected the count values to come
out in
order, but that isn't the case: my first few documents have
values of
62, 61, 22, 19. I'm not quite sure what's going on here - any ideas
how the order is being set here?
