Views deprecated with no real replacement?

@jn you can still use views if this is the only way to approach your use case, I think it’s just discouraged overall compared with newer query mechanisms.

Actually I wonder if for your use case couchbase analytics is a better fit, compared to n1ql queries. It will also distribute the index across analytics nodes and is well suited to handle hundreds of gigabytes with its indexes and ad-hoc queries.

I think trying analytics might be a good idea first, and if that also doesn’t work well for you using views is still possible.
