The recommended way is to add a new design/view (with the change) have CouchDB take its time to index it and then switch over to this view. This way the existing views are super fast and nothing gets blocked. I'm sure this is in the wiki or the book. And yes, the rest of the views are happily available without blocking while this particular new view is "catching up". > What exactly is blocked and under what circumstances? Only the access to the new view which is getting indexed. Nothing else blocks. K. --- http://blitz.io http://twitter.com/pcapr
