[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-1625) View to be bound to a document

["Dave Cottlehuber (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1625?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13528673#comment-13528673 ] 

Dave Cottlehuber commented on COUCHDB-1625:
-------------------------------------------

I think the functionality you want already exists.

If you want to redirect the url to an individual document, the rewriter supports that today.
If you want to run a function over a single doc, then use a show, not a view. There's nothing stopping a show from returning JSON, and for a single doc running it on every request won't be significant performance impact. There is additionally the option to cache the result anyway.

Will either of those work for you?

> Currently the view map function runs against all docs and this causes a few performance bottlenecks if there are many docs or significantly sized documents.
> I would like to propose if not already considered the ability to bind a view to a document so that when someone calls the view it only loads the document bound to the view and nothing else.
