When to favor Couchdb views over Couchdb-Lucene indexes

Hello,

We have been using for a while both Couchdb views, and C-L indexing.
Seems like the latter gives us anything we need, as long as we don't need
any map/reduce functionality, plus the size is much smaller and no
compaction overhead.

The question is if there are other reasons to favor the native Couchdb
views.

Thanks,

Boaz

The only possible advantage of couchdb views is query performance.  You
would have to measure it.

The time to access a couch view is not much different than a single disk
access.
