Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1270:
------------------------------------------
I'm still reading the code. Just some another minor details,
- couch_index_api.erl should probably better expose a behavior, so as anything
that will be needed in indexers modules. So missing functions will be handled
at compilation.
- supervision. maybe couch_index_updater:start_link(self(), Mod), &
couch_index_compactor:start_link(self(), Mod), could be added as a child to a
supervisor. So thet could eventually been restared using erlang supervision.
Also just wanted to say I really like the current design.

> The view engine has been creaky and cluttered. As shown by GeoCouch, adding
> new indexers basically involves copying the entire view engine and hacking
> the parts that are different. In short, the opposite of good engineering.
> Over the last couple weeks I've refactored the view engine and reimplemented
> the map/reduce view engine. These changes are 100% internal and no external
> behavior has changed. Performance is just a tiny bit better than trunk. I did
> do some playing trying to improve view update times and there are some dances
> we could do, but for the time being I wanted to keep the same general
> architecture for updates so that the changes are minimal.
