CouchDB-Lucene get distinct rows from search

Question

I have duplicated rows in my Lucene's index and I whant to retreive only distinct datas with the search.

• I think that I can't build the index without the duplicated datas because they are not stored in the same CouchDB table (JSON document). But maybe I am missing something, and it's possible to test whether one element is already indexed or not before returning it from the index function.

• If not, is it possible to retreive only distinct values from an index which contains duplicated datas?

CouchDB-Lucene does not currently support "DISTINCT" or deduplication.
