Where does views (map reduce) impact on CloudAnt NoSQL limits?

Question

IBM Cloudant NoSQL has some limits on lookups,write,query per second.

On CloudAnt I can write a DesignDocument "View".

When I read a view, where does this read impact on? lookups/sec or query/sec?

For example this is the view:

function (doc) { 
   if(doc.DocType && doc.DocType=="car") {    
      emit(doc._id, {"brand":doc.brand, "model":doc.model});
   }
}

Answer 1

A "lookup" is something that hits Cloudant's primary key e.g. GET /db/docid or GET /db/_all_docs. A "query" is something that hits a secondary index, which includes:

• querying a Map/Reduce view
• querying a Cloudant Search (Lucene-based) index
• querying a Cloudant geo-spatial index
• querying a Cloudant Query index

In your example, reading back the results of a view would be classed as a "query" in billing terms
