Couchbase _changes feed equivalent

[Stanley Iriele <si...@gmail.com>]

What is the couchbase equivalent of the changes feed?...just to be clear I
am using couchdb but I am asking for a friend. I am familiar with the
changes feed enough but it seems like this has been hidden away from the
developer in couchbase. ...how would someone achieve the same behavior from
couchbase?...Any one with insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

You mean Couchbase Server? It has a thing called a Tap feed, which is more limited than a _changes feed. I’m not sure if all the SDKs support it, though.

In general, with the exception of map/reduce views, Couchbase Server is quite unlike CouchDB. It doesn’t make sense to ask questions about it here. Couchbase has their own forums where your friend can ask about it.

(If your friend is asking about Couchbase Lite, though, that’s very similar to CouchDB, especially if you’re using its REST API, which has a _changes feed just like CouchDB’s.)

Hi Stanley,

you should ask those kind of questions in the Couchbase Google Group [1].

There is no such thing as a _changes feed in Couchbase. In the upcoming
Couchbase 3.x (which is still a bit away) there will be something called
"UPR stream" which will be similar, yet different. Though you should be
able to do similar things as you can do with the _changes feed. If you
want to know more about UPR see [2].
