The blog post delves into the topic of pagination in Couchbase, particularly when handling large document queries, and provides insights beyond the basic documentation. It illustrates the process with an example using a view based on the beer-sample dataset to list breweries by country, demonstrating both simple and more efficient pagination methods. The post contrasts the basic skip/limit parameters with a more refined approach using startkey and startkey_docid parameters, which improves efficiency by avoiding the need to read all rows up to the skip value. Additionally, the article highlights the use of Couchbase's Java SDK Paginator, which simplifies pagination by automatically switching between methods based on the query type and maintaining state across HTTP requests. The author emphasizes that while simple approaches may seem straightforward, they can be inefficient for distant pages, and the Paginator class offers a more integrated solution for Java developers, allowing for more efficient navigation of query results.
