I understand this, but it would be very easy to run all RAM away with few requests to /_list/list-name/ddoc/view-name?include_docs=true&include_attachments=true . I as developer could be aware about such behavior, but I as evil user would be happy to put such request into infinity loop against some instance. Or such feature have to be enabled manually in config then. Does I understood work flow of include_attachments param right? -- ,,,^..^,,, On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 12:18 PM, Benoit Chesneau <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 10:00 AM, Alexander Shorin <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Benoit, >> >> If those attachments would be passed to query servers, could they >> causes Out of Memory errors since they could be quite large? >> > > Included docs are processed only on query not on indexation so it > shouldn't be a problem and will never raise an error in the query > servers anyway.
