I am also new to couchdb, but I don't believe the information from Matthieu Rakotojaona is correct. It is my understanding that pretty much everything in CouchDB (including views) uses incremental updates. So adding new documents to the database does NOT cause all view leaves to be traversed -- the view is updated incrementally.
Is this correct? ~Christopher Sebastian On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 2:51 AM, Matthieu Rakotojaona < [email protected]> wrote: > You may try to compact the view (and the db) after each insert, but > this will dramatically increase the overall insert duration. > > I don't know very much about couchdb, but when you update the view you > will have to traverse all your precedently created view leaves. > Tidying it up will make the whole process faster, but each "tidy up" > will be longer and longer. > -- > Matthieu RAKOTOJAONA > -- Written using Gmail Motion. http://gmail.com/motion
