Views deprecated with no real replacement?

There are two parts here

  1. Map/reduce views. These can be directly used by SDKs/UI.
  2. N1QL has 3 type indexes Couchbase 7 views
    Indexes based on GSI (default, USING GSI)
    Indexes based on FTS (USING FTS)
    Indexes based on Map/reduce view. (USING VIEW). In 7.0 N1QL Queries will not able to use this index (VIEW) functionality removed.
