It is always possible to do user define functions by hand.
1- When adding an index iterate over all docs and add a field index_name 
= udf(doc)
2- Before saving a doc update the field.
3- create an index on the new field.

And now that we have document factories, this is even easier. So 
everything except reduce is possible, although not necessarily straight 
forward.

If we see this pattern of usage emerge, we can then invest in user 
defined functions for indexes.
