You could accomplish this with a _list function.

Something like:

{
    "_id": "_design/foo",
    "lists": { "no_meta": "function(head, req) {
        start(200, {\"Content-Type\": \"application/json\"});
        send("[");
        started = False
        while(row = getRow()) {
            resp = started ? "," : "";
            started = True;
            resp += JSON.stringify(row);
        }
     }"}
}
