If you just want return the user favorites of course, you can just emit =
userId as key and eventId as value, but if you want show them ordered by =
timestamp (events belong in time), you must include the timestamp in the =
key: emit([userId, timestamp], eventId). That because in CouchDB the =
query results are _always_ ordered key.
