Hi,
while trying to build a a view server for ddocs that validate/support
documents as FSM (Finite State Machine)
i hit a inherent limit of the protocol,
map and reduce don't get the full ddoc, but only a part of it,
which means my view server can't actually work with the full ddoc
unless i do some weird hacks, and end up in a situation,
where i circumvent proper view invalidation
if map/reduce where allowed to opt in for using the newer protocol for
accessing functions,
my problem would go away
as for view invalidation, a simple variant could just use the _rev,
a more sophisticated one would take a hash of parts of the document
(using excludes/includes defined in options as well)
Regards,
Ronny
