Bucket shadowing question

[hie...@bravebits.vn]

Hi guys, 

I got a problem with bucket shadowing, if anyone run into it before, please help me to solve the problem:

  - I have 2 buckets: "mybucket" and "mybucket-shadow"

  - The sync gate way connects to "mybucket" that mobile app could read/write the data.

  - The api (by nodejs) connetcs to "mybucket-shadow" to read/write data

Now my problem is:

 - The mobile app could sync the data from both mybucket and mybucket-shadow, but the api only can retrieve the data from mybucket-shadow :(

Please anyone let me know is there anyway that allows me to query the data from both buckets via node js api? I'm using No1ql to query, it might be a JOIN???

That’s by design. You should not use Couchbase smart-client APIs to access SG’s bucket directly*.

Why do you need to? Can you describe what problem you’re trying to solve?

The shadow bucket has the same data in it. The purpose of shadowing is to give you a separate bucket you can manipulate using Server APIs without confusing Sync Gateway.
