CouchApp stale or stale after_update

[thiebaut...@gmail.com]

Hey,

I'm discovering CouchDB and CouchApp for the first time. I try to generate view, but my data are more than 1GB.
The problem is when i push a new modification of a view CouchDB recalculate all indexes. I now there are the option
Stale=ok or Stale=after_update. Do you how traduce the fact, that when I push a new view, I can force couchDB with that
option in the view ?

Thanks

Reindexation only happen when you access to the view with the new code. A push by itself don't trigger any action, so accessing to the view with the stale option will return the current indexed result.

Also, to avoid clients having to wait a long time for a response in a live environment check out http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/How_to_deploy_view_changes_in_a_live_environment
