It's usually not a problem, but if it is for some reason (i.e. your view
calculation is especially expensive) then you could do:
for (var word in wors) {
emit(["by_word", word, doc._id]);
emit(["by_id", doc._id, word]);
}
Then this single view could be queried for e.g.
startkey=["by_word","the"]&endkey=["by_word","the",{}]
or
startkey=["by_id","mydoc1"]&endkey=["by_id","mydoc1",{}]
I would expect a single view like this to be a bit larger than two separate
views, because of the extra tags being stored.
