I don't think that will work. the "new Date().getTime()" is evaluated
once for each document, so your expectation that documents will fall
out of the view as time moves on will not be met; unchanged documents
are not updated in the view.
All I can think of is two views with a client-side join.
valid_from: {
"map":
function(doc) {
emit(doc.valid_from, null);
}}
and;
valid_until:{
"map:"
function(doc) {
emit(doc.valid_until, null);
}}
You'd query the first with valid_from?startkey=<current time> and the
latter with valid_until?endkey=<current time> and then "valid"
documents are documents that are returned by both views. They're
returned in order, so the join logic should be simple enough.
Caveat: Haven't tried this :)
