Move/Add/Change/Delete API for single view

[Michael Salmon]

Hi folks,

Was wondering if I can edit a view without deleting/readding the entire design document? Either through REST API or Python ideally but open to other interfaces. Right now when I change my indexes I have a script that reloads the design document but then it takes a long time to rebuild, taking my app server offline effectively while the indexes are rebuilt.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

what you could to is creating a separate design document with a
different name, but containing the updated views. Then trigger and
update (e.g. with a `stale=false` request) update. Once done, you can
upload the same definitions with the original name. This will make you
app work without any downtime.

This works because the view engine creates a hash of the contents of the
design documen, but doesn't include its name.

Cheers,
Volker

Hi Volker,

Thanks for the feedback.

So basically I need to manage this via separate design docs. Since I read that design docs are objects in the DB, it makes me wonder if there's a way to actually get the design docs from the DB as json and edit them directly like a normal document?
