[PYCBC-79] Create bucket function does not allow user to set the bucket type

Sat, 26 Jan 2013 09:14:33 -0600

Create bucket function does not allow user to set the bucket type

We should add the bucket type to the list of parameters

it is possible to work around this with the rest interface like:
couchbase = Couchbase("127.0.0.1:8091", "Administrator", "password")
#get the rest interface
rest = couchbase._rest()
rest.create_bucket(bucket='myBucket',
                   ramQuotaMB=160,
                   authType='sasl',
                   saslPassword='password',
                   replicaNumber=0,
                   bucketType='couchbase')

[PYCBC-71] Supporting _all_docs in the SDK

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:11:00 -0500

The Python SDK currently doesn't seem to support _all_docs at the moment.

I remember that it was possible in the past with something like `.view("_all_docs")`, but I think this is the wrong way to do it. _all_docs should really have its own method. The reasons are:

- _all_docs and Views are a different thing, this should not be hidden to the user
- _all_docs uses raw collation and not Unicode collation as Views do
- I'm not sure about this one, but it could be the case, that _all_docs also contains not yet persisted items (as opposed to views).

[PYCBC-9] an interface to paginate across large view results is needed

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:11:01 -0500

There can be some situations where querying a view returns results that way too large for the client to handle. In these cases, either the client library API or implementation of some Python specific API can allow for one to iterate over Views which have very large results.

The Ruby client does this with streaming. The Java client does this with traditional pagination:

[PYCBC-83] Python client fails to encode view parameters

Tue, 21 May 2013 08:59:23 -0500

http://www.couchbase.com/forums/thread/reporting-issue-python-client-bucket-viewoptions-needs-encode-options

During querying a view, if the option is not encoded, it generates an error.
Example:
bucket.view("_design/beer/_view/by_name", limit=10, key="##")
The "##" characters generates:
"invalid UTF-8 JSON: {{error,insufficient_data},"[\"NONE"}"
The Couchbase Python client code should encode all the params in the client.py: view() method.

Please follow up with the user who posted the issue on the forums once this issue is resolved.

[PYCBC-8] creating and destroying design docs with views from the client library should be available

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:10:57 -0500

Separate from accessing views, there should be methods of creating and destroying views and the associated design documents.

[PYCBC-12] client should provide some way of asynchronously running multiple ops in parallel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:11:01 -0500

Currently, if one has to get multiple items to do something, they must all be done in serial.

get A
get B
get C

print "A + B + C is " A + B + C

it'd be better if A, B and C could all be fetched without blocking, and only when going to access them, would the request be blocked.
