Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-1894:
---------------------------------------
@benoit I’d *love* to evolve the process model and IPC protocol, and I believe
that having a node query server runtime will allow us to actually get people
working on this.
But I’d suggest that that is out of scope for this ticket. Let’s land this one
and then go improve everything we want to improve.
The goal of this ticket is to get something that allows us faster iterations
and improvements in the future with minimal effort and changes to the overall
system today (later changes are more than welcome). I fear if we try to solve
everything at once, we’ll never ship anything.
I think this is a good strategy, hope you agree :)
> 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
