Using the CouchDB river, it is possible to index CouchDB databases. Is it also possible to index a CouchDB view with Elastic Search? I have been informed about the existence of this feature: > Is this the way to go. Is this making it up to trunk? Thanks, ---

Hi Daniel, Shay is waiting for a new commit for this pull request that will make view management a bit more efficient. But, for this commit, I'm waiting for the feature request to be implemented : [Query DSL: Add ids\_prefix query and filter to fetch docs by prefix ids · Issue #1259 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1259) So, the pull request will not be in trunk soon. BTW, you can clone this : [https://github.com/dadoonet/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/tree/dpi\_views](https://github.com/dadoonet/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/tree/dpi_views) , build it, install it as a plugin and play with views. Documentation to use it is here : [Add support for views by dadoonet · Pull Request #2 · elastic/elasticsearch-river-couchdb · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/pull/2) I will be pleased to have a feedback on it. Cheers David. > -----Message d'origine----- > De : [elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com) > [[mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com)] De la part de Daniel Gonzalez > Envoyé : jeudi 26 janvier 2012 10:26 > À : elasticsearch > Objet : Indexing a CouchDB view with Elasticsearch > > Using the CouchDB river, it is possible to index CouchDB databases.

David, I will work on this issue, will try and make it into 0.19.

Shay, Is there a list of what to expect in 0.19? I looked at the Github issues but didn't see how to get a list of items being worked.

Basically, 0.19 main features are done, anything additional is a "nice to have". On Friday, January 27, 2012 at 10:53 PM, Michael Sick wrote: > Shay, > > Is there a list of what to expect in 0.19?

Hi there Shay, I think there's great merit in this feature. It's an effective way of reducing the volume of data travelling across the wire. A CouchDb may contain a lot of data that isn't of value to ES, but a custom view could expose just the searchable metadata - reducing in better network and indexing efficiency. The alternative solution of specifying a filter in the river appears to only handle cases where the metadata fields are know in advance. cheers, Ian On Jan 27, 8:50 pm, Shay Banon [kim...@gmail.com](mailto:kim...@gmail.com) wrote: > David, I will work on this issue, will try and make it into 0.19. ---
