I was wondering if Merge of the map/reduce/merge paradigm ( http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1247480.1247602).
I looked on the wiki but was unable to find any reference to merge, I assume it would appear here if anywhere: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Proposals I know that similar functonality can be achieved through reduce using an internal hash table, I believe this is how the tags sample code on the wiki behaves. Unfortunately, if the size of that hash table becomes too large performance begins to crawl as the rereduce step begins to spend a large amount of time merging hashtables. I'll be more than happy to update the wiki with whatever I hear the proposed future plan is. Thanks in advance, Danny
