Description

Need an interface to be able to access Couchbase Views. Even without the ability to create and delete views, accessing view results is important, as views can be created through the Web UI interface.

The specific implementation should be specific to, and familiar to the surrounding language and library, but it should have some general capabilities:
- List views from a given cluster
- Get a handle on something that represents a view on a given cluster
- Assemble query parameters for a View
- Retrieve non-reduced results from a View
  * Be able to get the underlying document from the non-reduced results (this request should flow over binprot)
- Retrieve reduced results from a View (the format is the same, but there is no associated docid)

This patchset implements lowlevel view execution:

    http://review.couchbase.org/9412

It means the library doesn't interpret the view parameters and result. The examples/couchview application shows how to plug external JSON parser to the couchbase

View are implemented as low level transport routines in 1.1 Development Preview. And all these operation could be implemented a top of it by high-level client (ruby, php, perl etc.)

For example to get list views from a given cluster:

libcouchbase_make_couch_request(instance, NULL, "_all_docs?startkey=_design/&endkey=_design0&include_docs=true", 62, NULL, 0, LIBCOUCHBASE_HTTP_METHOD_GET, 0, NULL)

Currently libcouchbase isn't equipped with good JSON parser (it could use libyajl for examples but it is optional)

Maybe it worth to split this issue? Because CRUD for design docs is already implemented, view execution too

This feature has been delivered.

Over the course of development, it was decided that this feature, on libcouchbase, should only deliver basic HTTP request abstractions. Callers into libcouchbase are responsible for many of the details of representing views inside their application or to their callers.
