Can anyone explain to me why the following doesn't work:
Assuming the following document structure:
{
"_id": "520fb089a6cb538b1843cdf3cca39a15",
"_rev": "2-f96c27d19bf6cb10268d6d1c34799931",
"type": "nosql",
"location": "AZ",
"date": "2012/03/01 00:00:00",
"amount": 1500
}
And a Map function defined like so:
function(doc) {
var saleDate = new Date(doc.date);
emit([doc.location,saleDate.getFullYear(),saleDate.getMonth()+1],doc.amount);
}
And using the built in _sum
function for the reducer.
When you execute this (with group=true) you get results like this:
{"rows":[
{"key":["AZ",2012,2],"value":224},
{"key":["AZ",2012,3],"value":1500},
{"key":["WA",2011,12],"value":1965},
{"key":["WA",2012,1],"value":358}
]}
Now if you change the query to something like this:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/default/_design/nosql/_view/nosql_test?group_level=2
You get results like this:
{"rows":[
{"key":["AZ",2012],"value":1724},
{"key":["WA",2011],"value":1965},
{"key":["WA",2012],"value":358}
]}
So with that in mind if I wanted to find out all sales in 2011 for "WA" could I not execute something like this:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/default/_design/nosql/_view/nosql_test?group_level=2&key=["WA",2011]
This example has been taken from the useful videos over at NoSQL tapes.
