Bryan White commented on COUCHDB-801:
-------------------------------------
Thank you for your response. I didn't intend that people would always need to
use something like 'ForceReReduce=true. As you say, it wouldn't always make
sense, as it doesn't always make sense to replicate a database, and I'm sure
that replication was never intended to be mandatory; it's useful, and people
can use it if they wish, or leave it alone.
Currently I'm using Divan with NUnit to test and learn about CouchDB. So if the
'js cli command' is easier and more flexible than a 'forceReReduce=true', then
I'm all for trying that.
However I work in a M$ Windows environment (and know nothing about ruby), and
cannot find js.exe anywhere. I suppose I'm overlooking something. I know that
there *is* JavaScript in there somewhere! I've found 3 cli.exe, but don't think
that any of them are relevant. I've done some internet searches of combinations
of 'javascript js cli windows' and not found anything helpful.
So, if you could give me some other terms to search for, to point me in the
right direction, I'm sure I'll be able to pursue that js cli command idea
further.
Again, thank you for your time.

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Bryan White
> Priority: Minor
>
> AFAIK there is no way to force a Map Reduce with rereduce=true to happen,
> other than creating an arbitrary large number of documents. So any bugs in
> handling reduce calls with rereduce=true might not be discovered at
> development time.
> I propose something like a 'ForceReReduce=true' option which will call Reduce
> with rereduce=true (either once overall, or maybe once for each document) in
> order to shake any lurking bugs out of the tree.
> If there *is* such a feature, I apologise; I've looked but can't find it.
