In the scenario I am hypothetically  looking at, you (the database creator and 
administrator)
are not in control of the structure of the document, it may be of any form as 
long as it is JSON.

I first came upon this analysing the output of Collusion (an analytic program 
that tracks all browsing behaviour /in the browser/).
This JSON  record becomes very large very quickly.

So if the doc is big, it is big. I do not wish to pre-process it, If the 
browser can handle documents of this size surely CouchDB
can manipulate them in its native language without being throttled arbitrarily.

I also feel that the word join is not really what SQL-less is about.

These are only opinions, and I am often wrong so Your Mileage May Vary (ymmv).

No

The 'value' of the timeout "50000000000000" is merely the form or
representation that is reported in the browser by curl.

In Futon configuration it is also represented in the same way.

In the Erlang core of CouchDB this string may be used and/or stored in ETS
in a number of ways.

An atom using list_to_atom/1,
a list, Erlang strings are lists,
a binary by using list_to_binary/1,
a 'value' using list_to_integer/1 or list_to_float/1,
a term using binary_to_term/1.

So what you see is not necessarily what you get inside the core.

Yes you are right that timeout is an integer value in gen_servers and a
typical one is 5000 standing for 5 seconds.

Thank you for illustrating this seeming anomaly.

This attitude might discourage people from helping you with your efforts.

Code as in couchdb/erlang  list in "Using the Erlang view server to

I have looked for this for some time hoping next release would fix it.
There is something hard coded in there and I will find it eventually and
find why it was put there and by whom.



  returns? You might need to bounce couchdb in any case, as it applies
this timeout setting when it creates the process, and we keep a pool
of them around, so changes to timeout after that won't be picked up
until they're rebuild. restarting couchdb is the quickest way to
ensure that.

Yes it is a large and complex document (16K lines to make this happen

on
fast machine much less on Raspberry Pi).
Yes it uses Erlang view function.
Yes I DO want it to hog resources until it is finished.
Yes I am the administrator.
No  I AM NOT INTERFERING WITH ANYTHING ELSE.
No I cannot dictate how big or small the document is.
Yes this is important to me.
I have not pursued this as I was using rcouch, I could not find the
source
of the timeout message.
I did not want to have to rebuild to fix this.
I did not want to bother the Couchdb team as I was using a fork of
CouchDB.
Simlar issues have been raised and no answers forthcoming.
Mentions of "hidden tweaks", "this is not good for you", "have you got
big
documents"  etc.

How do I get this NOT to timeout?

On rcouch I would change a value and rebuild a release to fix this (if

I
could identify the source).
If anybody can give a clue I will test their hypothesis and report
back
to
the list.
