Hi,
I think I can help with one of your points...

That's by design, you calculate a view and store the result because
potentially that calculation is very expensive/time consuming. When
you add/delete documents and access the view you calculate a diff of
the existing view and the changes (that's a grossly simplified view of
how it works...). This means that maps with calls to random() and date
type functions will not behave as you initially expect (I hit this
when playing with dates, the solution I had was to pass the date in as
a key arg).
I don't think you can force a reindex of the view from a query, you
can use stale=ok to see an old version of the view while another
process updates the view.
Cheers
