allow native view servers
-------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-377
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-377
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mark Hammond
Attachments: native_query_servers.patch
There has been some discussion on IRC etc about how to support 'native' view
servers, such as 'erlview' in a generic way. Currently using erlview requires
you to modify couch.
I'm attaching a patch as a first attempt at supporting this. In summary, the
patch now looks up a new 'native_query_servers' config file section for a list
of view_server names with a {Module, Func, Args} style string specifying the
entry-point of the view server. The code now passes an additional atom around
indicating if the PID is 'native' or 'external', and map_docs takes advantage
of this to avoid the json step. This patch allows erlview to work for me, but
in theory any erlang code could be used here.
I'm very new at erlang - please let me know if I should make stylistic or other
changes, or indeed if I should take a different approach completely.
