I'm using Couchbase to power the back end of my mobile app and am experiencing a strange error when using views.
I have a view set up to fetch a specific document type and am querying that view via the Sync-Gateway admin API. Normally it works well but I've found that if a document has been recently added to the database then the view query will return 0 results on the first request. The second identical request will then return the expected response.
I suspect that the new document hasn't been indexed by couchbase yet and the query triggers a re-indexing of documents. What I'm wondering is if there's a way of notifying couchbase that I'm about to query the view and to prepare the documents in advance. I don't want to have to perform 2 requests for each query.
Has anyone else come across this issue?
Any solutions?
By default, Sync Gateway allows using a "stale" index, meaning a query won't necessarily rebuild the index before processing a query.
To override this, add stale=false to your query.
(Allowed options are false, ok, and update_after. The default is update_after.)
