Excuse me if I am asking a question that has already been addressed...
When providing a view_updater script to CouchDB, the updater script receives
the following on an update: "{"type":"updated","db":"my_db"}". So if 100
updates happen, conceivably the script is called 100 times (I have found that
if the updates are very close together, it does not get called for each
update). But if 100 documents are written to the database using the _bulk_docs
API, then the script is only called a single time. If the view updater script
received some information about the number of documents that were updated then
it could act appropriately, even for bulk updates. Something like,
"{"type":"updated","db":"my_db","documents":100}".
Regards,
-Matthew.
