The data is not necessarily unstructured, it just doesn't have a strictly inforced schema. So I'm very intrigued by this if they're adding it as a layer on top of CouchDB views. If they are, you could use your views to selectively filter on documents with a known structure, and then safely operate across a subset of your docs with unql. We'll see where they go with this though.

To clarify for the downvoters, I'm talking about this in the context of CouchDB, which I believe was a fair assumption to make seeing as Damien Katz is one of the principle people involved and it was announced today at CouchConf.

In CouchDB, running a filter on top of view results is something you can only do in list functions or client side, so I am very curious to see how they incorporate this into CouchDB.
