[dorbae]

Environment details:

• local deployment / ubuntu
• couchdb 2.3.1 and 3.3.3

Steps to reproduce the issue:

You can find this log when whisk.v2.1.0/packages-public view re-build index. In my case, I reproduce it on Web Console followed by below steps.

1. Upsert entity docs(action or trigger) on whisk entity db.

2. Click 'Save Document and then Build Index' button.

3. Check CouchDB container logs

docker logs -f <YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME> 2>&1 | grep -i "os process"

Provide the expected results and outputs:

There is no exception log.

Provide the actual results and outputs:

dorbae@dorbae-ubuntu:~$ docker logs -f whisk-couch 2>&1 | grep -i "os process"

Additional information you deem important:

I reproduced the error on standalone environment and local machine and the version of CouchDB was 2.3.1. And also, I found it on my product environment with 3.3.3 version.

This issue occurs when execute view function since action and trigger entities have no 'binding' field on their doc. It doesn't affect the creation of the index.

Nevertheless, I think it's better to fix this function. This is because CouchDB makes unnecessary logs whenever entities are updated.

It can be fixed by modifying isPublicPackackage function and I already tested it. I would like to contribute if I have a chance.
