What we’ll talk about
• Lifecycle of a view• Index definition, build, and query phase• Consistency options (async by default)• Emergent Schema - Views and Documents• Patterns:
• Secondary index• Basic aggregations (avg ratings by brewery)• Time-based analytics with group_level• Leaderboard• Schema Evolution

View Definition (in JavaScript)
like:CREATE INDEX city ON brewery city;

Distributed Index Build Phase
5
• Optimized for lookups, in-order access and aggregations• All view reads from disk (different performance profile)• View builds against every document on every node
– This is why you should group them in a design document• Automatically kept up to date

Dynamic Range Queries with Optional Aggregation
• Efficiently fetch an row or group of related rows.• Queries use cached values from B-tree inner nodes when possible• Take advantage of in-order tree traversal with group_level queries

Queries run against stale indexes by default
• stale=update_after (default if nothing is specified)– always get fastest response– can take two queries to read your own writes
• stale=ok– auto update will trigger eventually– might not see your own writes for a few minutes– least frequent updates -> least resource impact
• stale=false– Use with Persistence observe if data needs to be included in
view results– BUT aware of delay it adds, only use when really required
8
Development vs. Production Views
• Development views index a subset of the data.
• Publishing a view builds the index across the entire cluster.
• Queries on production views are scattered to all cluster members and results are gathered and returned to the client.

EMERGENT SCHEMA

10
Emergent Schema
• Falls out of your key-value usage• Helps to know what's efficient• Mostly you can relax
JSON.orgGithub API
Twitter API
"Capture the user's intent"
11
QUERY PATTERN:FIND BY ATTRIBUTE
11
12
Find documents by a specific attribute
• Lets find beers by brewery_id!
13
The index definition
14
The result set: beers keyed by brewery_id
15
QUERY PATTERN:BASIC AGGREGATIONS
15
15
16
Use a built-in reduce function with a group query
• Lets find average abv for each brewery!
17
We are reducing doc.abv with _stats
18
Group reduce (reduce by unique key)
18
19
QUERY PATTERN:TIME-BASED ROLLUPS
19
19
20
Find patterns in beer comments by time
{ "type": "comment", "about_id": "beer_Enlightened_Black_Ale", "user_id": 525, "text": "tastes like college!", "updated": "2010-07-22 20:00:20"}{ "id": "f1e62"}
timestamp
21
Query with group_level=2 to get monthly rollups
22
dateToArray() is your friend
dateTo
Array
()
• String or Integer based timestamps• Output optimized for group_level
queries• array of JSON numbers:
[2012,9,21,11,30,44]
23
group_level=2 results
23
• Monthly rollup• Sorted by time—sort the query results in your
application if you want to rank by value—no chained map-reduce
24
group_level=3 - daily results - great for graphing
• Daily, hourly, minute or second rollup all possible with the same index.

QUERY PATTERN:LEADERBOARD
25
26
Aggregate value stored in a document
• Lets find the top-rated beers!{ "brewery": "New Belgium Brewing", "name": "1554 Enlightened Black Ale", "abv": 5.5, "description": "Born of a flood...", "category": "Belgian and French Ale", "style": "Other Belgian-Style Ales", "updated": "2010-07-22 20:00:20", “ratings” : { “ingenthr” : 5, “jchris” : 4, “scalabl3” : 5, “damienkatz” : 1 }, “comments” : [ “f1e62”, “6ad8c” ]}
ratings
27
Sort each beer by its average rating
• Lets find the top-rated beers!
27
average
28
WHAT NOT TO WRITE
28
29
Most common mistakes
• Reduces that don’t reduce• Trying to do too many things with one view• Emitting too much data into a view value• Expecting view query performance to be as fast as
get/set• Recursive queries require application code.
30
GEOGRAPHIC INDEX
30
31
Experimental Status
• Not yet using Superstar trees • (only fast on large clusters)
• Optimized for bulk loading
32
FULL TEXT INDEX
32
33
Elastic Search Adapter
• Elastic Search is good for ad-hoc queries and faceted browsing• Our adapter is aware of changing Couchbase topology• Indexed by Elastic Search after stored to disk in Couchbase

Reduce!• Incremental reduce values are stored in the tree

function(keys, values) { return keys ? values.length : sum(values);}
42
Dynamic Queries• You can query that tree dynamically• Lots of the patterns are about pulling value from this data structure
42
25
7 5 5 3 2 3 { }?startkey=“abba”&endkey=“robot”{“value”:19}
_count
function(keys, values) { return keys ? values.length : sum(values);}
43
Dynamic Queries• Queries use cached values from B-tree inner nodes when possible• Take advantage of in-order tree traversal with group_level queries
43
25{7 5 5 3 2 3 {
{ }?startkey=“abba”&endkey=“robot”{“value”:19}
(7 5 5 2)19
_count
function(keys, values) { return keys ? values.length : sum(values);}
44
Respect Reduce! (anti-pattern)• Incremental reduce values are stored in the tree
44
function(keys, values) { return values;}
DO NOT DO THIS!
IT DOESN’T reduce
[“ace”, “argh!”,“asphalt”]s[“front”, “garage”,“hibernate”]s[“pluto”, “nectar”,“mirage”]s
[“ace”, “argh!”,“asphalt”, “front”, “garage”,“hibernate”]
45
Just use the Map
• If you think you need “the identity reduce”—just use the map.
45
[“ace”, “argh!”,“asphalt”, “front”, “garage”,“hibernate”]USE THE MAP
46
Lookup via key-range• Find tables during yesterdays lunch shift• Find shifts owned by which manager

Schema evolution
47
47
48
Application and Views
48
• Interactive schema fully controlled by application• If your code can handle it, the database can• Learn to write views defensively
49
Incremental schema evolution
49
• Use a view to decide which documents need work• Make your workers idempotent• Once all your data is cleaned up, and old clients are no
longer writing the old format• The cleanup view is obsolete, so is any app code for
dealing with the old case• You've evolved!
