Re: calulate doc popularity with couchdb map/reduce

[Benoit Chesneau]

I improved a little the map/reduce code but still same error. I don't
know where I am wrong at this point. If anyone have an idee please
tell me.

- benoît

map :
function(doc) {
  // !code vendor/couchapp/date.js

  if (doc.type == "vote") {
    var d = new Date().setRFC3339(doc.d).valueOf();
    emit(doc.itemid, {d: d, v: doc.v});
  }
}

reduce :
function(keys, values, rereduce) {
  /* we use reddit algorithm to calculate scores
