Hi,
We successfully installed the multiview couchdb from the git, and there seems
to be some issues with the tests demonstrating the mutiview features.
1/ Issue #1 : muti view demonstration test is not available from Futon
We can see it is included in the tests ( file
share/couchdb/www/script/couch_tests.js ), but not shown in Futon.
This can be fixed by copying the multiview.js file in the
share/couchdb/www/script/tests directory on install time.
Adding the file in the share/Makefile.am should fix the build process.
2/ Issue #2 : the test fails
When we finally add it the test fails with the following errors :
1.Assertion failed : results.row
2.Assertion failed : results.row
The log is pretty verbose (with debug level), but basicaly there seems to be a
400 error when views URL is queried.
Here is an extract of the log, full log is attached (and gzipped) :

3/ The demo test script is not clear
Our understanding is that this feature returns an intersection (on docid) from
several view queries. At least this is what we read on the mailing list.
However, it is not cleat at all how keys are sent to the distinct views.
Especially, how can we use the multi view and send different keys for the
different views.
Let's say that :
we have a view using doc creation date as a key
another view using doc author as key
We would like to get all the documents created by a particular author for a
given time range, how do we provide the appropriate key.
A clear example would really be appreciated because currently, there are no
keys provided in the js example code.
( BTW we know that this particular example can be resolved using collation,
however it seemed the simplest example we can find for the multi view criteria
selection ).
