day=1 day was a typo *and* pseudocode.

I mean simply that you should increment 'day' by '1 whole day' in the loop.

let's assume day is an integral value from some epoch (0 meaning jan 1
1970, 1 meaning jan 2 1970, and so on).

for (day=startDay; day<endDay; day++) {
  emit(day, null);
}

I have to admit I have no idea how I could get the information you're looking for from that complex key. Also, the emit method takes two arguments AFAIK: a key and a value. You seem to be emitting a single value?
