Bulk Command

From CouchDB Documentation:

The bulk document API allows you to create and update multiple documents at the same time within a single request. The basic operation is similar to creating or updating a single document, except that you batch the document structure and information.

whinstone-couchdb supports bulk API when the parameters from Queryable is a collection:

• Collection of POJO
• Collection of Map
• Collection of array
• Array of POJO
• Array of Map

Example bulk operations:

Repository repository = getRepository();
List<Author> authors = new ArrayList<Author>();

Author a1 = new Author();
a1.setName("Bulk One"); a1.setNationality("BR");
Author a2 = new Author();
a2.setName("Bulk Two"); a2.setNationality("PT");
Author a3 = new Author(); 
a3.setName("Bulk Three"); a3.setNationality("AU");

authors.add(a1); authors.add(a2); authors.add(a3);
Queryable q = QueryFactory.of("add", authors); // query must be named with 'add' or 'update'

int rows = repository.add(q);
assertThat(rows, is(3));

whinstone-couchdb there are built-in queries: add, remove, update, get and _all_docs, isn’t necessary wrote in XML file. So, to use bulk API you must be invoke repository method using one from these built-in queries.
