Description

Attempting to make a call to CouchbaseClient.query(view, query) with a view that has a reduce (even just "_count") results in the following exception when results are returned:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to access the view
at com.couchbase.client.CouchbaseClient.query(CouchbaseClient.java:634)

Worth noting:
- If the query returns no results (ViewResponse.size() returns 0), you do not get the exception...
- If the reduce method is removed from the view, everything works fine. However, using query.setReduce(false) does not work.

Hi Chris,

thanks for the report. I'll investigate and let you know!

Thanks,

Please make sure to use setReduce(true) and .setReduce(false) explicitely on a view with a reduce function right now.

The following code works with setReduce(true) and false, but will throw the exception you mentioned when setReduce is not used at all:

    query = new Query();
    //query.setReduce(false);
    view = client.getView(DESIGN_DOC_W_REDUCE, VIEW_NAME_W_REDUCE);
    reduce = client.query(view, query);
    itr = reduce.iterator();
    while(itr.hasNext()) {
      ViewRow row = itr.next();
      System.out.println(row.getKey());
    }

After more investigation, this is really a shortcoming and should be handled in this changeset:

It makes sure that reduce = true when nothing is set and the view contains a reduce function. The exception was misleading because it covered a JSON parsing bug underneath.

fixed and pushed to master; will be available in dp5/beta.
