Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1894:
--------------------------------------
A note on terminology (at least to my understanding).
My work is not a "query server" but rather (I guess) a "JavaScript
environment". All it does is run some JavaScript code and provide a few globals
like readline(), print(), and a few others.
The "query server" is the stuff in share/server/*.js, which is compiled into
one big main.js during building. My project runs the query server verbatim, and
so it is a drop-in replacement for couchjs except using v8 instead of
SpiderMonkey. (That is not very interesting for users, it feels 100% the same.
What is interesting is that it is easier to install.)
> Add experimental NodeJS query server
> ------------------------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-1894
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1894
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Reporter: Jan Lehnardt
>
> Let’s clean up and merge Jason Smith’s Node.js query server into ASF land and
> ship it as opt-in and experimental.
> I’ve prepared a branch that does the following:
> - remove fancy extra features like app server handlers and the visual
> debugger support for now
> - make it a drop-in replacement for couchjs
> - bundle the code in src/couchjs-node
> - add a new query server language “nodejs” that people can use
> - include sandbox.js from https://github.com/KlausTrainer/sandbox.js (not
> hooked up yet)
> The query server is not installed by default and users can install them in
> two ways:
> 1. from source:
> $ cd src/couchjs-node
> $ npm link
> 2. from NPM:
> $ npm install couchjs # add @1.x.x for once the module mirrors CouchDB
> version numbers for forward compat)
> And then they can uncomment and update the [query_server] line in local.ini.
> * * *
> Open work items on the view server:
> - make it work with CLI tests
> - fix remaining test cases in web test runner
> - hook up sandbox.js from https://github.com/KlausTrainer/sandbox.js
