The most efficient way to update a lot of docs currently is to download all of the docs via a view query - try the `includedocs` query parameter - and then to bulk update those docs with a single POST request. There is no mechanism for updating through the view directly.

You'd write a view that emits some key:values, and then do the query you describe (?key=foo) to return only the values with key = foo. You can also do startkey=foo and endkey=bar to get a slice of the view (e.g. look for continuous data in a range). You don't need to worry about this in writing your view, since the view is generated for all keys.
