Also of note is that the updates are grouped at the _design/doc level,
so if you want to update some subset of views individually you just
need to split them amongst a set of _design/docs. There's also a
scheme that lets you create a temporary _design/doc that can be moved
over top of the existing version to have quickly updated views, but
this approach requires you to have the disk capacity to have both
versions built on disk simultaneously.
