    Description

      This is not just a feature request, this is proof of concept. Working with query servers, i wondered why the functions list() and show() cannot asks for additional documents. Sticking with one document (show) or one view(list) very limiting these rendering functions.

      CouchDB also doesn't support join operation with more then one reference hop and only with include_docs (which is not supported for reduce). Giving to the script some lookup function can break many these limitations (INCLUDING REDUCED RESULTS!)

      After some research, i found a way, how the query server can ask the the database for the documents. So I downloaded couchdb sources and tried to implement my idea. And it worked.

      From the javascript, there is a new function available for the Render section (show, list, update).

      function lookup(docs[])  -> array
      

      The function accepts list of doc-ids. It returns whole document for every doc-id in the array. Asking for non-existing documen, or deleted document causes that null is returned.

      How is this implemented?

      The query server can return a command instead of a regular response.

       ["lookup", [docs]] 
      

      The couchdb performs lookup for the specified documents and returns them through the proc_prompt back to the query server. Then the couchdb repeats the waiting for the regular response. The above situation can repeat as many times as needed.

      The following log was created on my development version of couchdb. You can see "lookup" function in the action.

      [debug] [<0.163.0>] OS Process #Port<0.3023> Input  :: ["ddoc","_design/example",["shows","test"],[null,{..}]]
      [debug] [<0.163.0>] OS Process #Port<0.3023> Output :: ["lookup",["doc1","doc2","doc3"]]
      [debug] [<0.163.0>] OS Process #Port<0.3023> Input  :: [true,[{"_id":"doc1","_rev":"1-7ef1a0ad6b5aae5c716ed7969c87fe97","payload":"aaa"},null,null]]
      [debug] [<0.163.0>] OS Process #Port<0.3023> Output :: ["resp",{"body":"[{\"_id\":\"doc1\",\"_rev\":\"1-7ef1a0ad6b5aae5c716ed7969c87fe97\",\"payload\":\"aaa\"},null,null]"}]
      

      I hope this new feature can improve scripting a lot!

      I have implemented this feature in the branch 1.6.x, because i have this version in the production. You can find the patch below. It would be probably easy to port the patch to the master branch.

      I would appreciate if somebody look at this concept and perhaps improve my implementation and include it to the future version.
