Add optional `fields` to change feed selectors (This could be postponed until after 2.0 release. Issued to get comments and review). When using selectors with `include_docs=true` can specify an optional fields array in the POST request JSON body. Each element in the array can be a json field (or even a key path specified as field1.field2...). Resulting documents will contain only the specified document fields. For example: ` http://.../d1/_changes?filter=_selector&include_docs=true { "selector": {"z" : {"$gte" : 1} }, "fields": ["field1", "field2"] } ` Will first select only document with "z" value >= 1, then will return only field1 and field2 in documents. { "field1": "field1value", "field2": "field2value"} (This requires a companion pr in fabric to work) Jira: COUCHDB-2988 You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/cloudant/couchdb-couch couchdb-2988-fields-for-selectors Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-couch/pull/177.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #177 ---- commit 31810005bdf9f068bc2fbef4a28a8bdace9406b1 Author: Nick Vatamaniuc <vatam...@gmail.com> Date: 2016-06-02T21:04:17Z Add optional `fields` to change feed selectors When using selectors with `include_docs=true` can specify an optional fields array in the POST request JSON body.
